Question about turbo, anyone else have this problem or suggestions?? V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Larie on  Sun Nov 21 13:35 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I bought a 98 XC V70 on ebay in the photo's it didn't look like a turbo and wasn't described as one, it didn't act like a turbo, no turbo Gage and no turbo marking on the car But when the my mechanic looked at it he said it was definitely a turbo, he checked the impeller and it spins freely and the waste gate works properly, his thought was that the exhaust wasn't pushing out as much as it should. Any Ideas???

    I don't know how much truth there is to this, but I've *heard* that the lack of turbo markings is a marketing thing.

    Towards the latter 90's Volvo realized that their typical customers were sort of turned off whenever they saw the turbo badges, naturally thinking high-performance and problems.

    dunno. sounds probable to me.

    XCs only came in LPT in the USA. Previous user was correct in that the pressue is low only about 6 psi. These are very trouble free.

    It's probably a low pressure turbo, 6 psi max. I've got a V70 GLT and it's an LPT and us usefull at low speeds for added take off.
