    A lot of my convesations have this in it-
    them "what engine does it have?"
    me "a 2.3l 5cyl turbo"
    them "turbo diesel?"
    me "no, petrol"
    them "really!? How much power do they have?"
    me "they'v got 240bhp and 260lb/ft, when standard"
    them "is it quick?"
    me (depending on what car they have) "yep"

    You're all wrong!

    The best is the first and original 850 Turbo.


    No T-5, T-5R, or R would have existed if it wasn't for this wonderful beast!


    I don't care if you have a T-5, a T-5R or an R......
    ......they wouldn't have existed if my Turbo hadn't forged the path!

    Hello. New member with 850 T5 (M Reg) and lately an S reg v70 T5 (5 Speed Manual). Been trying to get detailed info on the v70 - it says T5 on the back but has twin exhausts and a totally alien engine bay with various modules from racing dynamics all over the place. How can I tell what engine/model the car is? Cheers - Jim

    Apart from the the stickers, You won't without pulling it apart.
    Stick it on a rolling road and see what you get.
