Prob a 15 or 16G unit, one ending on e-bay in about 25 mins.

Dont buy an 18G though, might corpse your head gasket.

I see you won it, well done. I think an 18G would be too big, unless your motors A1, which sadly mine aint! Seen a few new Japanese 'bolt' on upgrades on there for about 500 bucks.

The standard 850 turbo was the 15G, the 850R manual had a 16T. The V70R and S70R Classic manual Rs had an 18T as standard. The 265bhp V70R AWD had an 19T as standard.

Conical outlet flange (94-95 850 turbo, 95 850 T5-R), straight outlet flange (96-97 850 R, T5 and GLT, 98 model S70 R, T5, And GLT),

bugger looks like i oreded the wrong one

I'm sure someone will shoot me down in flames, but isnt this one still usable on your car?
Conical to straight was a design upgrade, not a radical remodel of the turbo?

Alternatively, tell Salvo you've made a mistake and they can offer it to the previous bidder mate, just looked and they lost it by 2 quid, they wont give you a negative for that.

Indeed. The late T5s had a 15G with a straight flange but swapping the exhaust housing over is always an option. Failing either that or changing the downpipe, it'll have to be a grovel to Salvo and see if they've got the straight flange one in stock
