Im kinda in a hurry for an awnser to this queston. At what rpm's should the turbo start cutting in..? Car magazine says it gives 300nm at 2600rpm but I took it to 3500rpm's and nothing happed.. Can there be something wrong with this car and what can it be? Doesnt seem like there is a leak in the turbo pipes... Mapping mayb? Please any info will be much appreciated as I want to buy this car asap. |

The salesman wil never let me take the car for diagnostics.. But thanx anyway.. But it doesnt sound right if they say that it has 300nm on 2600rpms coz it didnt feel like that at all.I think my E36 316i has more low down torque than that volvo

ask a local mechanic, if you pay them they'll come out to the car and test it.

AA test cars for potentcial buyers, dont know if they go so deep into things tho. 1 thing, is the car sandard eninge wise. and does it still have the factory turbo? If it aint factory, the previous owner most likeky changed it for a bigger 1, that affects the spool time.

No the engine is stock standard and the car itself is in a very very good condition. Thats why I cant understand why the turbo takes so long to cut in.

Find d boostpipe between d turbo nd intercooler nd press it in. Hold it down while revvin d motor. It shud push ur hand upwards d moment it starts boostin.
