All of these guys with turbos, watch out! A smooth B280f has more lowend torque and doesn't sound as busy as a turbo. I had the valves adjusted because the the valve cover gaskets were leaking and needed to be replaced anyway, not because they were complaining after 130K mi. The motor is so smooth without a 3,500 rpm power boost provided by the turbo, I can understand why you like your new tow rig.
Have fun with your X1/9, perhaps painting both the Volvo, trailer, and X/19 in the same color scheme would make your whole package go faster than TEAM 44.
