Well its finaly all sorted, big thanks to Philip(Flatout Phil)for the turbo, at a great price i might ad, just a small issue when the garage fitted it, exhaust side to down pipe was not the same as mine, so i had them switched(will post pics below)my mate at the garage thinks the tub was maybe from a later s70 T5 but we are not sure,maybe if anyone knows they can reply to that.The wastegate actuator bar was also longer, but we had a guess on that and when we fitted a tempory boost gauge it showed 9.5 psi, pleased with that.Had all new vac lines in blue, conectors,oil pipes+gaskets,o ring, new CV boot also needed.Runs great, can actualy hear it spooling up nicely.You will see in pic my tub on right, and the oil leak in centre where the clamp/collar is, the bearing was near seized,and the seal leaking, we think was killed it off was a oil leak from the oil feed pipe! At moment engine check light on, this came on when tub died, have done the battery disconect bit, no joy, have had me garage mate plug in to lates OBD2 kit, but as its a 95 he could only use from 2000 year, but it did talk to ecu and said no faults but he could not clear the light,he said maybe take it to Volvo, but maybe someone on here has the older OBD2 kit for this car and could help out.
Anyways i may be selling soon as i was going to a while back as i moved to a small village that has two roads out of it, both a mile long up a bloody big hill, so a 4x4 looks on the cards, cant risk getting stuck not getting to work in winter,will ponder a bit longer on that.
