    19t

    right moving on from the last topic, i've stumbled across this...

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-850-S70-...3A1|240%3A1318

    is that regarded as a reasonable price? also what sort of boost levels are deemed as safe on stock rods?

    and can anyone one tell me how much this will improve my 0-30 time.

    It's a good price, not overly safe for standard rods or injectors and your 0-30 will suck ass as the turbo takes longer to spool.

    I've run a 19T for best part of 3 years in 3 different T5s without any internal engine issues (rods that is). The spool up is later but carries for a longer time.

    I am just praying you cant afford it.

    850s usually have the 15G. 1 or 2 later models may have the 16T - but I dont think so. 16T is a good all rounder but lacks the top end grunt of the 19T.

    It's all about the tuning Baron - if it is done well then you should be fine for over 300hp on stock rods, done badly you can bend one with low end torque.
    That's the issue rather than what the turbo can flow max

    Indeed If you look for my graphs (knocking around here somewhere) I got good power and over 400NM of torque on the 19T. Bringing it in too early like any forced induction will create problems.

    Oh not tuning like that mate, it will need a full custom ECU remap to run it well and larger injectors (prob greens from an R or equivalent).
    Look to pay in the region of £500 for a custom map (based on MTE prices)

    nope. T-5R in both auto and manual came with the 15G. so did the automatic 850R. the manual 850R though, did come with a 16T and a viscous coupling(kind of diff).
