Pushing Limits: Boost Pressure Experiment on my Rare Volvo V70R | Will It Surge or Soar?

Remember last week when I said the Volvo felt down on power? Well this episode is all about getting it back.


Ever since I had the turbo rebuilt on the Volvo V70 R, I have felt like it's been down on power. It never really felt like the turbo spooled until after 5,000 rpm. Needless to say, it didn't feel zippy around town like it used to. After consulting with some Volvo experts, it turns out there could be a solution to my issue. So today, I wanted to see if tightening the wastegate a whole bunch would help matters. Tag along as we manually turn up the boost, and then monitor the data on the Vida/DiCE unit!
