Hi all
I'm looking for a 1999 ish V70 2.4T idealy manual, however I have found a 1999 T5 which I quite like the look of. The only reason I would rather have the 2.4t is I mainly drive round town so the power is enough for my needs and the fuel economy might be better.
questions
Is a 2.4t better than a T5 on fuel?
Other than higher boost (ecu) and alloy wheels, spoilers etc is there any other difference ie. bigger turbo, uprated brakes, stiffer suspension.
Power delivery. If the T5 has a bigger turbo does the boost come in one big serge at 3k lighting the wheels up, where as a 2.4t with a ?smaller turbo? have a smoother delivery but runs out of puff at the top end. speculating here.
I'm looking at the T5 tomorrow so any help will be appreciated.
