Which turbo?

**Carlos13** · Thursday 2nd March 2006, 20:08

Forgive all the questions!

I keep hearing talk of 16 and 19T turbos. I assume this relates to the size of the compressor wheel?

Which turbo comes as standard on my car?

Thanks!

Gary, yes the 19T was fitted to the V70R AWD 265 bhp (2.4 turbo engine).

You can get them from us. www.volvotuninguk.com

They are only worth it if you remap the ECU to make the most of it.

ive been through your site many times however you dont show prices of turbo conversions.

im defienty gonna get my 310 rica upgraded through you but i also wanted to fit a nee 'charger and exhauset before the map.

its all beacuse you provide a real time map now.

We don't show prices for most stuff because of the huge combination of options available, ie we prefer to see if we can do something that fits your criteria. For example, normally the full blown custom mapped stage 2 conversion costs over £2000, but you can also have some of the stage 2 items fitted and mapped for a lot less depending on the car and what you already have. So it all gets very confusing for many people who are browsing.

cool, i can see what your saying.

a 19t has to be fitted on a larger downpipe doesnt it?
if it does i may aswell fit a performance exhaust at the same ime.. am i wrong?

Well, it depends on the car!!! lol

A 19T will bolt straight on with no other modifications on any T5 from 1999-2005 (except for oil and water feeds). But for the earlier cars it needs either a different downpipe or a modification to the turbo. And it's different still with the AWD models.

Or you can fit it with a larger downpipe, as you mentioned.

You see what I mean about how confusing it gets and why the prices vary!!!
