B5234T5
Increase power output to 177 kW (240 hp)
by temporarily raising boost pressure for a
maximum of 30 seconds.
The temporary increase in boost pressure also
affects the torque, which increases to 330
Nm at between 3000-4800 rpm. This only
applies to models fitted with a manual gear-
box.
Volvo recommends 98 RON lead-free petrol
for the best performance with the B5234T5,
but will run on any fuel with an octane rating
of 91-98.
