    The higher compression on the 2 litre engine will almost certainly cap you out at around 270bhp if you lucky.

    To go further it is much easier to take the old bits - sling them onto the 2.0 and get a T5 - at least work from a position of strength.

    VVT will also help you on later engines. There are early low mileage C70 T5s for under 2 grand now.

    I doubt the turbo on the 2.0T would be able to flow anywhere near the c405 CFM necessary for 270 bhp efficiently... but if you can confirm the exact turbo model then i'll have a look at the compressor map for it..

    I've got to say this thread has been a real eye opener.....as soon as I started reading I thought...this is some schoolboy who has found the internet and is practising his typing.....

    It just goes to show, the world is full of crazies. Or in this case, juveniles.

    It helps by bringing in more torque. The peak figs may be the same but the VVT imho helps with the acceleration and fuel econ.

    you keep spinning this pish WD.. but you have nothing to back up your theory.. the power, torque and 0-60 times are the same for post and pre ME7.. and you seem to have limited understanding of what VVT is or how it works.. the simple fact is that the majority of manufacturers use it now a days to help with emission control and fuel efficiency.. it's not exactly a performance addition to an edition like you keep on trying to tout..

    maybe you'd like to prove with EVIDENCE that you don't just spout crap? - 2 dyno's (1 pre and 1 post ME7 on standard cars) will suffice..

    EDIT: and there's a difference between arguing and asking for evidence to prove a point.. which you can't...

    the part where you keep replying?..

    EDIT: good link here for info: http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index...c=6752&hl=cvvt

    EDIT 2: and proof from a dyno:
