I have checked for an intake leak but none can be found (a whole can of carb cleaner later) however the PCV system has an issue that i wonder if it may be tied into my problem. Oil is blowing from the dip stick (under hard accelaration) doesn't that indicate PVC problems? Could this be related? How do I clean the PCV system on the S40? As I understand there is not a PCV valve as in other cars.
Thanks for the help.

Yes, you need to deal with the PCV.
I don't recall if this has been asked already, but how are your spark plugs? Are the gapped correctly? Not sure which ones are for your car but your owner's manual will tell you.

The plugs were the original plugs from Volvo and shot. I replaced the plugs and the light went out and has not come back on. The turbo is now working properly and all is good. Thanks for the help it was BRILIANT.
