    I like how the turbo still says Volvo. I guess that would come off of some big ol' diesel Volvo semi or something?

    The 20v cover is the old Volvo T-5 motor that was in the car before and the turbo is from a Volvo semi. The car is still a project, and wont be finish before somewhere next year i guess. Despite its size the turbo cant produce more than 750hp says the owner

    Nice.. Nothing like a little oxidized red paint, huh?! LOL.. BTW, I loved my '95 850 Turbo.. that car was one sleeper for sure.. In mine, though I think I recall the engine ran from east to west rather than north to south as depicted in this application. Use some IPD software for an extra kick...
