If you do not have an OBD-II reader, get someone to read the code associated with the CE light. Dollars to doughnuts it will be a misfire in one or more cylinders. If so, johnk's assessment is on the mark: plugs, points, etc.

Same thing happened to my 98 V70 T5M right after I did my MOTRONIC+ upgrade: revved into the 4K range, had about 10 psi boost ... then boost dropped and engine sputtered/hesitated. After plug replacement, never happened again. I will relay what the experts on the Brick Board said to me: OEM Volvo plugs only, and make sure they are the ones for a Turbo.

Let us know what happens.
