VolvoTD Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I am in the market for an s70 and their are a few in my area that I am really considering. The only thing is that some adds say the GLT has a Turbo and the AWD has a turbo too. I was wondering if the s70 has characteristics that say its a turbo like the light or bumbers or somthing. I looked at some other car sites like MSN auto's but they dont tell what has and what dosent have a turbo. So any help would be great! Thanks alot!~JohnnyAHere are some adds like that - claim its a GLT Turbo?Claim its a AWD Turbo?Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebor Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 All S70 GLTs are turbo. The only non-turbo S70s are just plain jane S70s with no added packages.I didn't know they made an AWD sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolvoTD Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 so this car here a 1998 s70 GLT has a Turbo? GLT's really have turbos, cause the 850 glt's dont? Or is that just 850's. http://www.prospectautosales.us/home/ShowCar.aspx?id=120tHanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 97 850 glts have turbos... yes s70 glts all have turbos all AWD has turbos (yeah s70's )The only thing that might be a slight giveaway... are the wheels. Another thing to look for is the turbo it self. Pop the hood open... look at the firewall of the car and look down (behind the engine) there should be a metal shield... under that is the turbo... no shield no turbo.

If an AWD has a turbo it has "Ariane's", a more rigid 5-spoke wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnut Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Dead giveaway under the hood is the black intercooler pipe that curves over the top of the motor.'98-'00 70 series GLT and AWD's had 13G low-pressure turbos. Honestly, I'd look for a high-pressure turbo T5 if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 im pretty sure all s70 AWD's have turbos. All. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolvoTD Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I have tryed to find one but In My area there are only N/a or GLT or AWD no t5's around. I could always upgrade it my self to a 16t or 19t if i had that $$$$. Any one have an s70 were they have upgraded the turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Can you look outside your area... you will like the T5 Much better. You can put a HPT turbo on the LPT engine but cant get nearly as much from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnut Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 im pretty sure all s70 AWD's have turbos. All.←... I second that, and on the V70 also.Yeah, the T5 is a little harder to find. I ran into the same issue ... LOTS of GLT's and AWD's for sale. I would say the ratio I noticed of GLT/AWD to T5 for sale was like 10:1, but wait for it ... be patient.

T5BRICK Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 the 6th and 7th digit tell you which motor the car has.the 56 in the VIN means LPT. if it were 57 it would be a HPT. i think it's 53 for the N/A cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
