Try the 'R' forum at www.swedespeed.com and the S60 forum at www.vvspy.com (which is where the R content is found.)

Re: new to volvos

They are quick. I took my 86 740 turbo sedan to the track just to school Hondas. It was a blast I beat most of them by 5 car lengths. My best time was 15.6 while most of the other imports were running 17-19 second quarter miles. I even beat a non turbo 87 Supra. The cars that were running close to me were VR6 Golfs and Sentra SE-Rs. Oh, and my car has 170,000 miles on it too.

You can up the boost easily by putting a 1/4 inch "T" in the waste gate line. Its free hp.
