[B]Low Press or High Press Turbo?[/B]

Avroflyer1 · Mar 5th, 2012, 15:08

I am looking to buy a low press turbo XC70 and have come across one with a 2521cc 210bhp engine in a 2005 model. Can anyone advise if this is low or high press version? I think it's low but I would appreciate confirmation please!

Reason is I want to convert to autogas and I gather the low press turbo makes a far better conversion and is a much more robust unit. Any comments?

Cheers

Depends on use. Hpt has masses of power over 2.5 easy to see 100 MPH on a roads if not sensible! But get in wrong gear feels flat. Lpt has more diesel like torque! Did not know lpt was more durable? As has same CC as later t5. 210 is lpt I believe ?
