D5244T16 - is it a twin turbo?

Hi all,

Since few days I am happy to own a XC60

I bought the car second hand (it is approax 1.5 years old) and I've received some controversial info so far regarding the engine.

My XC60 (MY2010) is equiped with the D3 engine which is the same as D5 - 2.4 liters but with less power (different software and injectors). The engine number starts with D5244T16.

My dealer said that the engine sports a single turbine, while searching for this particular engine in the net I found info that D5244T16 is a twin turbo engine.

These are the engine specs from RICA:

2.4D Euro 5 (163 hp / 420 Nm)

- Available MY 2010 onwards
- VIN Code YV1xx80
- D5244T16
- Twin turbo engine
- Tunes to 245 hp / 500 Nm
- Found in XC70, XC60
- Same engine as the D5 Euro 5 205 hp
- Only available for the certain markets

other info re the engine could be found at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_D5_engine

What is confusing (at least to me) is that Volvo are labeling as D3 their 2.0 and 2.4 engines.

The pull is quite good so I don't feel a substantial 'turbo hole'. Could it be that the dealer is wrong?
