Replaced the MAF as it was the only thing we touched, issue still persists.

As subject states - low RPM power loss intermittently. From 1000rpm to about 3000rpm there's absolutely no turbo function and from 3000-5000rpm turbo picks up (but isn't full power). Usually happens after I've gone through a 2-3 gear shift (manual gearbox) when overtaking someone or just building up...

Engine's been swapped already to a V70 T5 one (not by me), not sure if the gearbox is original.

I've been going through at least 30 pages of Google and I keep getting conflicting and non-complete information. My 850 T5-s syncros started going out a couple years back and now after losing second gear a few months back, during a pull I lost drive and the gear knob just dangles about. Anyway, I wa...

Right, so after spending months and hundreds of euros on fixing everything but the brakes (besides the handbrake which still refuses to cooperate), something has happened to the brakes. I'm used to tapping brakes, so when I brake, I tap it, brakes fine, second tap - the brake pedal is impossibly har...

Wouldn't it be smarter and cheaper to get a new set of silicone hoses?

Hose before intake is busted, no clue where I can get another one. Elbow with a smaller hose forking off? Volvo 9161093. Any Turbo 850 1994 - 1997. Any Turbo 1998 C/S/V/XC70. In other words any Turbo P80 1994 - 1998. 2021-08-27.png Nobody's selling them, got a spare from some guy who didn't need hi...

Right, solved.
Found my boost leak while starting to swap out the vacuum lines. Hose before intake is busted, no clue where I can get another one.

However all the hesitation and starting issues were from a bad connection to the temperature sensor under the thermostat.

the turbo and the exhaust completely. Completely meaning: Exhaust manifold, Turbo, Catalytic Converter, Resonator, Muffler and Pipes. A restriction in any of the components can cause the symptoms you have. If you remove the Front O2 sensor and the symptoms go away or improve. You got a restriction ...

After standing still for a couple months due to other repairs, it now either refuses to start, or when it starts, above 5k RPM it starts sputtering. Refuses to make boost above 0.4 bar. Hum .. did not do this before the other repairs ... does it now. What where the other repairs? Well it started be...
