GLT would have a 13T while S70 may have a 15G or 16T. Physically, turbo will bolt on no issue. If you are staying stock boost level, it should be fine.

Shouldn't be an issue, but you'll probably lose a bit of power. The T5 (VIN 53) has a larger turbo than the GLT.

It should be a bolt in swap but it's a bit smaller. Why do you want to do it ??
