dmelviØØ7 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Single turbo (which looks pretty big for a stock Volvo turbo) and Volvo calls it a dual scroll turbo. This has been explained to me as a turbo with 2 exhaust turbines, one for cylinders 1-3 and another for 4-6. Supposedly this cuts down on turbulence in the exhaust stream. Seems cool to me :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volverine Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'd like to see a revival/new version of the S70/850, S90, or even just use those names, or make a retro car like the dodge challenger. Or the S80L make it an S90. I miss the 70 series, 40 series names S, V, C followed by the class, the current system makes no sense at all. It should be C30,S40,V50,C60(currenlty c70),S70(currently s60),XC70 (currently xc60),S80,V80(currently v/xc70),XC90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvo Virgin Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Wow...production numbers were all over the map! From 108k to 6k. Diidn't realize the S60 numbers had fallen off that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
