JRL, By your profile you have all "R" series cars. Are you sure that it will work on non "R" Series Cars. Road and Track usually tells it as it is. BTW I was just passing on information which if I need to go back through my R&T archives to prove I will, I see no need to yell!

I remember Road and Track (or one of the auto mags) doing a review of the "R" series turbo and discussed the 17 inch wheel. They intoned that Volvo had modified the brake line holders and some other parts (can't remember all of them). They concluded that normal 850 turbo owners should not ...

If I need an adaptor where c...

Hey guys, I thought I would pass this along. I was getting a mixture codes for mid throttle and idle mixture issues. So I thought I had a vacuum leak somewhere. I also had low power not terrible, just not what I remembered when the car was new. I really believed I had a week turbo and or a bad diaph...
