Hi all, just in the process of building a space frame for my current car, iv opted to use the volvo t5 2.5 AWD system.. And picked a donar up really cheap from a crash damaged (rear end) v70 1997 model

Iv just been reading up and been told this ain't the engine to run..

I want to keep the AWD but read it's soft..

I'm hoping to run between 400-600bhp wide power figure I know but iv got £2500 for engine and components inc upgrades to gearbox if any...

Just wanted to know your opinions as to running the 2.5 or opting for another T5

Any help will be much appreciated as I'm new the the T5 engine..

Any details on were to start on modifying these engine would also be good as there Low pressure engines and also knew to them and not sure on the turbo to run etc..

Thanks in advance hope this all makes sense

Il upload pics ASAP
