There were 3 models of the S70 in 1998. Plain Jane S70 - no turbo and 168bhp, usually with cloth seats and a 4 speed heater fan. The S70 GLT had a light pressure turbo, 206bhp, leather seats and variable speed heater fan. The high pressure turbo was only in the T5 model with 240bhp.
The light pressure turbo engine is very nice and reliable, you don't even know that it is there. The LPT is good for at least 200K miles. It is not your 1985 240Turbo.
