I have a 1999 V70 T5 US market with the VVT solenoid and ETB, so it looks like this did make it to the NA market in 1999. Mfg date was 11-1998

We tend to have strange terminology here on MVS :lol: When we say NA we mean Naturally Aspirated. CVVT was not fitted to '99 NA or non-turbo USA or Australian cars.
