Very nice, i think the wheels really suit the car.

Don't they just! Not a wheel I've ever liked the look of before either.

Thanks guys!

The engine still has stock internals .





Added some more power later..

VR Trigger wheel on a dyno roller had one damaged tooth (erratic dips on the graph and error after 7200 rpm). Anyway, it still shows nice powerband and the trend of the curve .

that's quite a few ponies!

Very nice OP.

Thanks!

I'm in the middle of the rebuild of the spare engine with forged internals. Will put this on it:



A little movie how she moves on WOT .

Love the vid. Is the TCS light broken or was it spinning its wheels to the end of the vid

Welcome to Pistoheads

Stunning car and I have just joined the Volvo club along with another friend of mine Martin (V6GTO).

Will start another thread for those (pair of identical T5's). Going down a similar route only keeping them roughish from the outside.

Will be looking for another turbo - don't suppose your old one will be up for grabs? Look forward to your updates

[davepoth]

That's a lovely power curve for a turbo engine, isn't it? How's the turbo lag?

[Old Gregg]

Brilliant. I like this very much.

Nice T4 OP. Great Alloys. Love the 'hot' Volvos.
