[s-cars] anyone know what turbo the S60R uses??

[Pram Oen]

Sorry for the off topic:

I am waiting delivery on an 05V70R.   The turbo on the S60/V70R is a 
K24/26 hybrid.  It is a good turbo for stock engine but will have too 
much backpressure on the hotside when you start tweaking the boost.  I 
have  sent a stock V70R turbo to a KKK specialist for a full 
blueprinting/balancing work, some porting on the hotside  also 
zeroclearancing the coldside.  I'll be adding also a  3" downpipe, 100 
cell metal cat and full catback exhaust.

With regard to the dual IC, it is an afterthought design by the Volvo 
engineers.  The put the main IC stupidly sandwiched between the 
radiator and AC condenser hence poor performance of the car during 
summer with the AC on.  They added the second/smaller IC in front of 
the other three most probably trying to alleviate the heatsoak issue 
but it is just not enough in hot summer months with AC on especially 
when you start chipping the car.   Somebody in TX just came out with a 
pretty good FMIC. I am definitely for that one also.

I still love my 92S4 with 117kmiles but I also need an 6sp AWD wagon 
that can go pretty fast and still carry up to 7 person.  As such only 
V70R fits the bill.  The MB E500 4matic wagon is just way too much 
dough and hard to tweak and no 6sp.
