Hi all,

Yesterday had a good run on my newly acquired V40. I've never had a turbo volvo before but can anyone enlighten me when does the turbo actually kick in? Can one actually feel the turbo coming in?

I went up to speeds of 130km/h but never able to reach 3000rpm (the 5speed tranny with the torque converter keeps this down I guess). And up to those speed, the increase in power was gradual and smooth. I've heard of turbo lag, does this engine suffers from one?

Thanks all!
