Volvo 850 question[ALL/1998] posted by Nick Gidakos on

Hi Everybody,

I have a question, I own a Volvo 850 GLT (1995) before the mild turbocharging. I was wondering if you can install the turbocharger from the newer mild turbocharged ones or even better go all the way and put the turbo from the t-5. Is it possible or should I consult after market manufacturers (I still want the car to be legal in California where I leave. The reason I did not buy a turbo all along(and save the hassle) is that I like the manual transmission option. I have driven a European 850 turbo stick and it very fast. Any opinions and sites with info will be appreciated.

Nick
