Default Parting out a V70, what would be good for my 855R

Robert, you are the God of this sort of thing. Please help! The V70 is a 1998 model, the 855R a 1996. I was going to grab towbar, rear tails, and my Volans, but are there any other bits worthy of salvage? It's got a dead box. I contemplated the dashboard, but nah. The V70 is quicker than the 850R models, is it because of a bigger turbo, or better software? Should I grab it?

Thanks all, Richard

If the V70 is the HPT model, I believe it came with the 16T turbo which is a nice step up from the 15s on the 850s and can run with your stock ECU.

What model is the V70? I would take the roof liner, cluster if it has the trip computer, tails, if it is a T5 take the turbo, turbo popping tubes, radiator is newish, windshield/roof trim, gear shift ****, MAF, rear hatch lifts (if good) and fuel pump relay.

Thanks guys. All of mine have been T5s until I bought the R, sorry I didn't specify that. OK, sounds like a bit of stuff I should grab. Thanks for the info!!
