I've clocked at 125+Mph and still climbing before my knees got weak... I have a light pressure turbo though. Can mine go as fast at top speed as a high pressure? It seems that it might be able to reach the top speed limit that I've read here for the T5. You think?

I think I should have gotten an R

    Top speed for a LP Turbo engine?

    For 97 models, in U.S., I think the cars are electronically
    limited to the max of the tire speed rating. Did the GLT's come
    with V rated tires in 97 (good to 149 mph and I think Volvo caps
    the car to 143 mph -- that is what they did on T5s in 98?)?

    A T5 can peg the speedo at 140 MPH showing about 5100 RPM on
    the TAC. I would think a LPT could get close to that speed,
    too. What was your RPM at 125 mph?

    Have you noticed the latest generation LPT engine is rated at
    210 ft/lb torque? Thats only 10 shy of the original high
    pressure turbos.
