you would be better off tuning what you have

i can get the lump for around 500 and would be nice to say i have a t5 with a t6 twin turbo 2.8 lol

Wouldnt be any quicker though dude!

But you wouldnt have a T5 would you it would be T6

i know it wont be quiker but i can mod it. surely with a re map it would make 340bhp?

The S80 T6 has 2 smaller Turbo's doesnt it, even smaller than the 15g's.

I was once told by a very experienced Volvo Enthusiast that the 2 turbos together arent much stronger than a 16t.

Would it be worth all the hassle to change the engine and also would you have to convert it to RWD ?

Cheers

S80 is front wheel drive.

It would be one hell of a squeze in an 850 for not much benefit.

I always find myself thinking about T6 lump (or T5) transplant into a very old Volvo.

I know some Swede's have put the T6 engine in 240's and 740's, awesome!
