yes it goes right in the but the volvo engine is shite, 125bhp as standard and thery don't turn well. The GTT engine is a better stronger engine. |

well if your mate had done it properly then that would be an issue, theres plenty of 300bhp 8krpm gtt engines around that have done 50K miles without any issues. |

your wanting to take out a F7P in exchange for a 480 turbo lump?!? 
just keep it the way it is.
my opinion anywho, but your decision. |

haha one of the guys on this site has a volvo and took out the volvo turbo lump and put in a F7P 16V into it instead
I did the chip on the ECU for it, he has not posted in a while as it goes, wonder how his volvo is doing . . |
