    I believe later models of the 850 had 160mph speedometers. I think it changed from 1996 MY onwards.

    As the part number is a OEM number on the invoice from Braydon Motors who carried out the work it seems a logical place to start.

    How would you suggest that the turbo is identified otherwise?

    The interesting thing is that the car is an automatic. The Engine ecu number is 0261 203 074 which is the correct one for a t5 automatic. However there isn't any sign of the retaining nut/bolt thing...
