Hi Klaus,
So from what you're indicating, removing the turbo is a big job?
Have you seen any "How To's" at Mathew's or on youTube.
I will check it out.

I saw a company online that sells the "Turbo cartridge "core" CHRA for less than $200.00
... with a video that made it look fairly easy. The company is iSpeedyTech.

https://www.amazon.ca/Volvo-XC70-36002369-Turbo-Cartridge/dp/B07GNBNJFF/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=turbocharger+volvo+s60&qid=1558115312&s=gateway&sr=8-5

I would appreciate your opinion about whether this is a possible fix or just Asian crap.

Or... if having an oil leak is not a big deal... my throttle body was fairly carbonized but not as bad as I thought it might be. Because the shut down to limp mode was intermittent and I could clear the code and it would work I started to think that it was electronic maybe rather than due to a mechanical malfunction caused by dirt/carbon etc. .. I wasn't going to take the chance that just cleaning it, didn't fix it.

Also, because I now have a "low pressure" Turbo does that mean it is basically no balls as
compared to my 850T. I get boost but it seems almost non existent at certain speeds/RPMs.
... for instance, can feel some boost in 3rd and 4th but I can tromp down in 5th on the highway and feel very little in any sense of boost as the RPMs climb. i.e. not great for passing... or if it is boosting it is doing so on a really slow curve.
There is no meter as you know in the S60 so I have nothing to go on but "feel". But it sure doesn't "feel" like
the 850. But you have explained that it will be different. as in zoom zoom
Am sort of wondering if I could have an issue with either my boost sensor or boost solenoid?
Am hearing that the solenoid is a prime failure issue in these cars at fairly low mileage.
How do you "test" for boost? Can any mechanic do that? I suspect it would require exclusive tooling... which I don't have.
Lastly... my 0-100 k or 0-60 is around 10 secs. .. videos i see on the web and specs for this car indicate 7-8 secs. ... is that another indicator that the Turbo is not working properly?
