Turbo a base s70 possible?
I just got a really good deal on a s70, cause I got it for $500. Now I'm wondering if I could turbo it out like a t5. I go to college for collision repair and I want to smoke some of these boys that have these Honda crx and civics thinking there hot lol what better way to get back at them with a Volvo that looks like a grandpa's car. If I can't turbo it, it's cool either way.

I just mention them two carsbcause that's what alot of ppl drives here. Yea I was gonna see if I can find a junkyard or someone selling a t5 turbo and accessories but before that I like to know if I could. Cause like I said I got the s70 for $500 and I don't want to have to purchase another car to switch it.

I just go myself a s70 GLT (turbo) SE (special edition, its just an appearance package)
it has a low pressure turbo. T5 difference is high pressure turbo and the computer thats it. Find the high pressure turbo and the matching ECM plug and play.
The low pressure turbo gets up and goes still. I can't tell much difference between the t5 and the regular turbos, and I drive these kinda of cars every day (on test drives). However, the s60 T5R....holy #^%&^Q@ is at a wild car!!!!

just the computer and the turbo.
Keep in mind you may have to re-flash the computer to account for ever so slightly different pararmaters for the CI displacement difference. T5 has a 2.3l engine, Gtls is a 2.4l.
another thing I just realized. the engine with the low pressure turbo will have higher compression ratio than the t5, but I would not think it could be enough to damage things. If anything it will result in much more power than the t5.

woah hold your horses (sorry had to)
no with todays modern computer controlled engines its actually 4 parts instead of 3 now
air-fuel-spark-computer control
Just like back in the days of carburators. put a larger carb on, have to itehr change spark plug gap, or go to hotter plugs.
I started out on old iron 20s-60s stuff so when something with a carbuator comes in the shop im like WOPIE something I can adjust!!
I also got 2 certificates in engine high performance.
