I hope you didn't pay top dollar for it. Fingers crossed you get it sorted mate. I have been in the same position and been burned and it isn't a nice feeling. Now that I'm older and wiser I have...

255g/s is enough air for approx 320bhp. I would be checking for boost leaks first.
Lovely car and a great bargain. Those Pesky MAF codes can be a pain to work out and glad you got it sorted. I wish I had a Shem on my doorstep grrr
Sounds like it could be an ignition fault with the hesitation and back firing.
Hi Soulboy,
Have you got a spare TCV to try on the car?
Also check the wastegate hasn't stuck slightly open.
That goes pretty well! Must have an HLM remap.
You need a chopped manifold or an adaptor plate for an 18T and a modded downpipe flange.
A 2.0 will be fine at 250bhp. It is actually a better option as the phase 1 will be at the limit of stock injectors at 250bhp. You will need a remap, exhaust and and maybe a better intercooler. At a...
Finally got a pic! I haven't even had a chance to begin working on the car to fix the imperfections. I can't wait to get started on it but I have a house to decorate first!!

I used a Kinugawa big 16G turbo and actuator on my T4 and Mo used a 19T on his Saab. Not a bad word to say really. The turbos kits are of excellent quality including all the lines and banjos etc....
Great cars and handle very well as well as being very quick. The blocks are based on the 5 cylinder versions with 1 cylinder removed.
Phase 1 has the stronger block due to being a 1.9 but the 2.0...
N715BMO Grey 855R Manual.
If the paint is salvageable with a machine polish then you sir have a major bargain! Excellent. Looking forward to seeing this project progress. I have just bought a grey 855R myself.
i was told the Torque app doesn't work on the 850's?
Lovely 850 BTW. I the only colour I'd want other than my grey one of course lol

Here's the ad. Bodywork is very straight, interior is mint and the engine purrs! Need to refurb the wheels,...
I just bought a lovely grey 855R manual with the dark interior. Happy days. :)
Yes that will be the reason for the power being slightly low compared to the torque. Still makes for a very quick car though! GT30? Do you have a project thread?
Orange tshirt sets it off IMO.
Pro Race 1.2 look fantastic on an 850!!.......and my S40 lol
Good result Mike. What are your mods?
The V40 is the best (and most powerful) Volvo Smithy has. :eek:
Buy a T4. Job done.
Lol!! I can just imagine a mouse holding on for dear life.
Looks like an excellent project. I do love the 850's.
You need to show that girl some discipline lol
Once mine is machine polished it won't be seeing any Polak carwashes or even a sponge! I don't want any more swirls as each time it's machine...
Hi Orca thanks.
Yeah it has lacquer. You only need to take the swirls out so unless you're silly and try to polish out a huge deep scratch you won't go through to the colour coat.
I use a...
