    Question possibly getting s60......again

    Hi all few years ago as a s60 t5 and was great loved it but due to some fool in van was written off been bumbling around in vectra vxr for last two years and seen a s60r person selling it is claiming its 380bhp but im just wondering what is needed for it to run that

    been told aftermarket hybrid turbo, fmic stage 3 map water injection, stainless steel exhaust ect

    is it capable of making 380 with those mods


    cheers all

    any pics or more info. would be nice to see what turbo?
    380 is fairly realistic depending on turbo....

    if he knows its 380 bhp then ask to see the graphs. if not id go a and view it. if its as good as he says it is offer to pay half of a dyno run. if its a rica tune run 10 mile in the other direction

    Obviously it depends what the hybrid turbo is, but I'd be doubtful of that figure, sounds like the same setup as S70T5Chris's and he only got 322bhp at the weekend, though it should produce nearer 360bhp.

    a larger compressor wheel can be had for peanuts and they make the turbo flow up to 420 bhp ish. they are about 150 from ard
