The metal coil style was the original design. If there was a lot of crankcase vapour condensation it easily plugged and needed to be checked/cleaned/replaced regularly. The plastic one with the holes is the upgraded design. It doesn't plug up as easily and is easily cleaned with a drill bit if you don't have a replacement handy. I didn't think Volvo was still selling the old metal kind. For whatever reason, I've lately been seeing the metal design advertised a lot in the aftermarket. If you change/Clean the flame trap element regularly it doesn't matter which style you use. Turbo engines do not use a flame trap element. Many people happily run non-turbos without the flame trap element.
