OE injector colors & flow rates

OE injector colors & flow rates
Anybody have a list of what injectors came in which cars? I'm specifically curious about the S80 T6. A wrecking yard near me is about to have one, and I'm wondering if the injectors are worth grabbing as an eventual upgrade in either my 850t or my V70 T5.
I've seen some lists of various V70 injectors, and their various colors, but I haven't found anything for the S80.
Thanks

I've heard/read zero about t6 injectors. Here's a list of injectors for the turbo 5 cylinder cars:
Stock 850 Turbo (orange) - 315cc/min
Stock S/V70 1998 (white) - 350cc/min
Stock S/V70 1999 (blue) - 395cc/min
Stock V70R 2000, 2004 and S60 (green) - 468cc/min
Any upgrade would be put to good use with a remapped ecu tuned to use the injectors full potential. Just slapping on a larger injector will be a waste of money without a tune alongside.
What color are the t6 injectors? Ive never sptopped to look, I'm assuming some shade of light blue? They probably don't flow any higher than the blues from the 261hp '00 v70R.(t6 is 268hp)

I have a set of blues or whites, if you're interested lmk.

This is what I've always seen and I took it for granted they were all rated at the same pressure.
Stock 850 Turbo (orange) - 315cc/min
Stock S/V70 1998 (white) - 350cc/min
Stock S/V70 1999 (blue) - 395cc/min
Stock V70R 2000, 2004 and S60 (green) - 468cc/min
Problem is I ran across a post that said the whites and blues flow the same amount. I haven't compiled enough info yet to confirm it but that would surely lower the value $$$ of blues over whites if it's just a color change and nothing more.
Orange - 315cc at 3.5 bar
White - 350cc at 3.5 bar
Blue - 395cc at 3.8 bar
Green - 468cc at ??? guessing 3.8
And 3.8 should be around 55 psi.
It would also mean you can just install a 3.8 regulator in a stock fuel rail (it was a direct bolt in for my 95) with the whites and have 395cc flow.
I tired to check but I also wonder if the OP of my info rounded up to 4.0 bar as the upgraded one I installed was a 3.8 bar ??
IF I'M MISSING SOMETHING, PLEASE CORRECT ME

I haven't seen the injectors yet. The car is in a holding pen, waiting to be processed and put in the yard. As such, I don't know the color of the injectors.

I hear ya. In the three years of Volvo ownership/parts selling I haven't seen a want or sale ad for T6 injectors/parts, not even the s40 1.9t injectors/parts for that matter, only inline 5 cars have the demand I think.
That's why I pick up stuff from p80 and p2 cars and pass on all other volvos.
Just saying.

This is what Oreilly is showing.
and Autozone
I tend to collect parts ahead of an install too. I did get blue injectors thinking they flowed more than whites but since I already installed a 4 bar regulator I guess I'll still be happy.
But now I'm curious if other than color there is any difference in the whites and blues. It doesn't make sense they'd go through all that trouble just to put a different color in a newer model car with a higher pressure fuel pressure regulator. Just doesn't make sense.

Did some more research and it is true, whites and blues are pretty equal in flow. The big difference is that the blues were installed on Volvos with 3.8bar fuel pressure regulators so they appear to flow more when it's actually the higher pressure that is pushing more fuel through. Stock fuel pressure on 850s is 3.5 (all the ones I've seen so far).
yellow - 315cc at 3.5 bar
White -- 350cc at 3.5 bar
Blue ---- 395cc at 3.8 bar
Green - - 468cc at ??? guessing 3.8

They're orange, completely. Not orange/ black like the 850t injectors
I left them in the car. I've got a drawer full of 850t injectors. Don't need more. I'm thinking about pulling the motor to have for a 960, but I'm trying to fight off the urge to take on more projects.
