If I got it right... It´s possible to change from Mtn stock gearing 21/40 to a shorty stock gearing 24/38 without changing the chain.... But is 24/39 also possible without a new chain?

You can use the same 70 link chain with all those gearing combinations.

How many miles are on it? It might be time to change the chain anyways. Its NOT fun to have a chain explode - takes out both front and back of chaincase.
Thanks for the info. It got 400 non turbo miles so I think the chain is OK.
Didn´t work! Tried 24/39 (39 seems to be std with reverse) and the chain is to short. It´s a 68 link chain. Shall try with a 70 link chain....

Should be a 70 link chain on there..the 68 link woulda been very loose. That is strange cus I did a gearing change for a bud & his had a 70 link but it was kinda tight. Must have made a running change.

24 - 39 seems to work for me. Great all round pull. Works great with 1.25 Ripsaw!
