Hi, I have been told there is a turbo from a volvo which will fit onto an rsi, is this true? If so is it worth it? any information on what is needed would be great, thanks

Same enging as the R5 GTX 1.7 but with lower comp pistons plus the old Volvo was well slow for a turboed standard car, wind up the boost to 2 Bar that would make it fast :wink:
