    Twin charged engines

    I stumbled across someone talking about the Volvo XC90 with a T6 engine which turns out is a twin charged 2.0l engine. Does anyone know much about this one? Has it been working for them? (Vs the 118tsi)

    They run it in the MY16 onwards S60, new XC60 and new S90.
    Volvo have gone to 2.0L engine block exclusively now.
    Not sure about reliability, but in the S60 Polestar it goes well; Revealing a secret from the Nurburgring Nordschleife - YouTube

    That's awesome! They are some serious numbers coming out of the 2.0 TS... 270kW and 470Nm on the factory S60 Polestar. The Heico stage 1 bumps it up to 294kW and 550Nm.

    I love that the Twincharger got fished out of the trash for another fun engine. Lets see if Volvo can undo all the reputational damage VAG did to it.

    Nice to see such power from engines these days but surely there is a risk pumping all that boost through a small capacity motor .
