V70 T5 Turbo question?
Hi All! Looking to do a light upgrade on my 850 and replace my 15t with a 16t, can anyone tell me if the mk1 V70 t5 only used the 16t? The turbo I am looking at buying has no numbers and all I know is that it cam out of a V70 t5.

Your main issue will be getting one with the exhaust flange you want. They all have the same manifold joint but early 850's had a conical flange (crap for flow) then later 850's and S/V/C70's up to late 1998/99 had a 2.5 inch straight flange (better) and then 99 onwards had a 3 inch angled flange (best). Each has a corresponding downpipe which you need to match.
Beware that you may need to get larger injectors and/or a remap if you go for something significantly different from your current setup. |
Thanks for info, the general consensus seems that the 16t will go on 850 t5 without needing larger injectors or a remap though some talk about changing the ecu? I don't want to start changing too much just a light warm over and slighlty less turbo lag. I know you can get the bhp up to significant amounts but without any sort of slip diff etc.. it's a bit pointless on a fwd car unless you just want to stay in one place wheel spinning? I am lucky that I have a specialist exhaust fabricator and tunning specialist in my Village but don't want to spend money until I've got my head around sensible changes available.
