The turbo is beautiful!

[@NinjaNinja380]

I see your a Volvo fan

[@XCPKieranj1X]

Best engine volvo made, great having it mounted in the middle of the coach so weight is spread evenly

[@darylyatestransportblogs]

Still think the THD100/DH10s were Volvos best although these DH12 units sound nice, best thing about mid engines vehicles is you can sit at the front and still hear the engine clearly

[@CreRay]

Volvo's last horizontal engine!

[@LandAnchor]

Makes the B9tl sound like a whimper.

[@lobodelasfalto2414]

Redline it bro, sounds beautiful but i prefer B58E/B10M

[@toothbasics6043]

Volvos engines are sound and the turbo

[@kevintaylor1960]

Give me an M over a B any day. Sad day Volvo decided to end production of the mid engine

Boost guage is not working

[@Dutch3DMaster]

If I'm not mistaking (only checked manuals so far for an electronics project, so no actual practical knowledge), that will only start to work upon engaging a gear and moving the vehicle...there's no power delivered nor needed for it to boost anything in neutral... The guages of that type I've seen so far indicate turbo working for the speed or power required, based on the amount of power requested and outputted (think of climbing hills and stuff). Some of the manuals also stated the boost guage refuses to work when cold because of how in some Volvo's, turbo lubrication is provided by the engine's oil pressure system, which is why some B10m's have the warning "ding" sound for about 30 seconds after starting fully through, to alert the driver not to request power because it could damage the turbo.

No load on the engine = no boost
