Welcome!
200hp on a stock engine is no problem. The injection pump is able to flow 200-220hp worth of fuel. Stock injectors will keep up also. Good head work, good turbo and large intercooler would be needed. I would also recommend head studs.

M90 is stronger and lever shift, m46 is pushbutton.

Can you tell by the Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN codes)/Volvo/VIN Codes?

Around here, the M46 is worth under $200, so you just go to the junkyard and get another one.

Where is the PS fluid leaking from? That will determine the repair methods.

I got tired of jumping out second gear, m46 petrol or m46 diesel gearboxes whats the diffrence ?
