Thank you! More details to follow in another thread, but in theory it should be a joy. 99.9% original and has led a charmed life very little use over the last few years, however I just feel it's lacking 'oomph' so as I'm a newbie to the world of Volvo ownership I'm looking for some guidance.

I'm hoping it could be just ageing vacuum lines but if there are any other pointers then hopefully someone on here can help. Whilst the turbo gauge does show negative on the scale then just into the white on the dashboard, it doesn't feel like I think it should i.e. a good linear shove of power, or even an old school wallop of boost at around 3k.

Vacuum pipes, intercooler hoses...?

Anyone??
