Noble probably added more intake and oil cooling and little else from the st v6 engine. They seem to like bigger inter coolers and simple mods to increase bhp.
Additional - having had a few ovlov estates, ford stole all the amazingly thought out bits from volvo such as accessible anchor points to easy fold down/removable rear seats
More shite - the mondeo duratec is a v6 so one more piston than the straight 5 in the volvo so more balanced and how much have you spent on the volvo to get that power output and what would that cost have been for the ford do do the same?
Also the monaro would need some serious brake mods to make the car stop. Bigger discs and bigger pads calipers all round.....then maybe suspension...

240 bhp is still less than the Volvo had from the showroom, however.
I would also suggest that Noble didn't simply strap two turbo's onto the stock Mondeo long-block.
