Nearly.
I've got a 460, will that do?
Actually, the last auto CD Turbo left on the road in Blighty no less.
I'll stick some pics up when I'm near a PC, Photobucket doesn't work properly on the phone

Like that mark 1 440 grill....Robou ECU going well I see
Yup!
Every now and again, by feeding the throttle in so it doesn't kick down, I can get the needle all the way to the end of the red. (scientific, I know!)
Pretty sure the gearbox will go bang in spectacular fashion soon, either that or a piston will make an appearance through the block.
Still can't stop myself thinking about that T25 you've got kicking around though.
Hmm....

I had a facelift 440 turbo a good while ago loved that car there like hens teeth now mine died of rot sadly
Yea, happy memories of my 440 Turbo, bought it at five years old and it was nineteen (2009) when I gave up on it.
Had a bit of rot in the sills around the back end which I had had two separate sessions of welding in new plate but that was not what stopped it. Layshaft bearing in the gearbox went and finding a correct replacement seemed impossible, plenty of ordinary ones but not with the correct gearing for the Turbo model. Could not justify the time and cost of rebuilding the box and when I looked sensibly at the way the rust was spreading it was time to call it a day.
Here are a couple of pictures, it was a good car and still went well, was sorry to part with it.
S60 T5, 2001 in the garage for weekend, V40 2.0T 1999 to get to work, had a 440 Turbo 1990 before that. I like turbo Volvo's!

Hmm...
OP doesn't feel like sharing then?
I might just start a project thread for mine one of these days.
All sorts of plans are buzzing around my head at the min.
Standard T5 power is in my sights. Will prob go bang, but what the hell!
If it works, then 210-220 bhp in a 1100kg car should be quite a good craic

There's 2.
Well, 1 and a half. Geoff's is clearly embarrassed to be seen with Vin Diesel's back up car.
I have here one rusty 440 turbo..!
