    Instead of buying larger anti-sway bars, can one just use two stock
    bars on the front and back? Also does the 940 turbo engine have a
    flame guard? thx.

    Here is a link to Turbobricks.com forum, John (The Aspirator) is in the
    process in writing up an article that describes the whole process.
    Although he is doing it on a 240, it applies directally to a 940/740 you
    just need to change the brackets accordingly.

    not an expert, OK,

    but believe turbos don't require flame gaurd/trap

    purpose as I undedrstand is to prevent engine back fires circulating from
    crankcase into fuel supply, or the other way around. I think the turbo
    mechanism prevents flames from traveling so no need for trap.

    but do your own due dilegence, please

    Yes that's correct, turbo engines lack a flame trap, they have the housing
    but it's empty. If you put one in there it tends to clog quickly from oil
    blowby from the turbo.
