Hello everybody, I need some help, here in Europe, particularly in Portugal there are at the moment a phenomenon of stolen catalytic Converters, and My V70 GLT 2.0i turbo (226hp) from 1997, my doubt is, I found a (just to fit) catalytic a good price and with European certified EN2, but for a NON TURBO version, can anyone tell me if I cut the upper fit (manifold attachment) and weld the tube here, there isn't any problem?

Or per other words, Can I use a catalytic Converter of one V70 MK1 non turbo one a V70 MK1 Turbo?

Thank you for your attention

I'm 99.9% sure that turbo and n/a have the same cats.

To be more sure, use VolvoPartsWebStore to view the parts diagrams for the exact car year, model, options. Enter the info for a N/A car and check the cat, then enter a turbo car and check the cat. You could also check the cat for your car, then see which other models it fits. Jargon like "exc turbo" means "excludes turbo", so read the descriptions carefully.
