What started as a triumphant moment quickly turned into a nightmare when my 5 cylinder turbo swapped Volvo 242 finally moved under its own power for the first time since rebuilding the Volvo B5234T 2.3l engine, converting to MaxxECU Standalone EMS with a custom wiring harness, and making many other improvements.
