i have never heard of a factory 616 turbo in a car. if one existed i would want it if it was a good car. the turbos dont seem to cause much trouble except that the head gaskets tend to start leaking around 275 to 300k on the 617 turbo. so if the 240 turbo carried a lower gear than the 617 i would expect it to need one proportionately earlier.

they apparently offered a 240 turbo in the gwagen. gurkha has one. he visits this site but havent heard from him for a few months.
