It is a 940 Turbo red-block 4 cylinder or a 960 NA (not turbo) I6 "white-block" motor.

If you are in the US, the former will be a B230FT and be mechanically almost identical to your current except for being a turbo. Great combination and loses 3-4 MPG over the non-turbo (17 city, 24/25 hwy...most think the power is worth the slightly more complex motor and the reduced gas mileage.

If it is a 960, your gas mileage will likely be similar highway but lower in the city than the 940 turbo but the maint regiment is very rigid...break a timing belt, lunch the motor. Tranny also seems to be more problematic that the AW71 from the 940 turbo.
