Hi I’ve came into possession of a 2000 v70 2.4 auto 170 and love the car just can’t help thinking a turbo under the bonnet would make it a whole lot more fun. Has anyone put the later 2.4t inline 5 that was shared with the focus st / RS at the time or would the 2.3t from the same year be a better option ? Alternatively if anyone knows of any turbo kits available for this engine.

Also wondering what sort of gearbox options I have , is a manual conversion more hassle than it’s worth? Will the stock box pair to either of these engines , is there an alternative box can swap in with relative ease.



Thanks in advance

 

also wondering if the p1 v70R bumpers are just a straight fit and if anyone has some for sale.
