I asked the seller the same thing, he basically told me I didn't know what I'm talking about !

Were you the 'timewaster' who didn't turn up ?
He he, just noticed that the seller has printed my question at the bottom of the listing !
He was a bit of a cocky Tw@ when i was speaking to him tbh. Hence his reply
Mate think you made the right decision not buying. The long and the short for future reference is that the 2.3 Turbo is a T5 no other option and although the T5 later turned to be a 2.5 there was never a replacement 2.3. The T5 engine was like any other engine n the range. It was fitted to any trim level car, hence could have cloth etc. The big one that would have sorted it for me id the fact that the seller didn't know. Believe me you'd know if you had a T5.
As the T5 came to a lonesome end
Its just the V70 2.5 10 valve SE, pictured here with the 2 people that make life worth living, my babies.

Not sure buddy as it something I remember from years ago. Need to read back. If your BT is badged as a T5 then it's the revised engine and hence you can (obvously) tune it to the nines. As I remember the original 850 Turbo was of the same capacity but not built to withstand much more than the 225bhp factory spec.
i can't find my USB stick with all my press releases on to see if i can find anymore info about it. But tbh its the first i've about a weaker engine (except the untrue rumour of weaker conrods on early T-5's) & surprised Volvo went to the hassle of making a special engine for the pre-T5 & then do half a job, then to remake the engine & make it stronger after less than a year
None taken buddy,interesting to hear if there's truth in it..
A 2001 Buell X1 Lightning now in sunny Tenerife and a Santa Cruz Superlight..yes I will get on it!
Looking for a Honda Hornet CB600FS (fairing one in Blue) for the UK
I think everyone should e-mail this bloke and ask the same question, it might then sink in ! Regarding the stronger engine thing, I did hear that the 850R block and later 70 series T5 blocks were made with more strengthening ribs built in to prevent the block distorting and slightly different rods, could this be where the confusion lies ?
