Hello everyone!!
Just bought a 97 940 LPT Torslanda with 111,000 miles.
I have had a number of 240's both saloon and estates and a 740 saloon (lowered 4 cm on PI springs) but these were years ago...
Now I finally have my hands on a Turbo
My other car is running a hybrid turbo and 303bhp and I would like to get my volvo to the same power.
I understand that a boost controller set at 12psi will get me about 180 bhp. Is this correct?
What steps do I need to take and in what order?
3 inch exhaust?
Boost Controller?
bigger turbo? What is the standard turbo?
I realise that it may be more involved on the volvo than on my other car because this started at 220 bhp and only needed exhaust, remap and hybrid.
I would be happy at 200 - 220 as a first step and then save up for the extra 100 bhp.
Everyone says you guys are the Dons on the Volvo world.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
