Ok so I have a neon thats got the following mods all done by me:
Bored Block
JE 8.6:1 Pistons
Eagle 3/8th rods
Knife Edged Crank
Custom Ported SRT-4 Turbofold
Turbo XS HPMBC
Megasquirt nSpark + Extra
56 LB injectors
FMIC
Custom IC Piping
Kevlar Clutch
Alu Flywheel
etc etc etc etc
THE WORKS

so yeah I know turbos a bit :)

I was wondering if there are any companies that do staged upgrade paths for example
Stage 1
ECU Remap
Exhaust
Intake

etc etc
Would be great if I could use a shortcut this time and not have to fully reengineer my motor from block up.
OH yeah, car will be a 740 Turbo.

I can help you out here.

No there are no real companies that do staged upgrades. You will want to take a look at this, http://www.volvoforums.com/m_38606/tm.htm

1. You want to do STAGE ZERO, which can be found here, http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/The-VS-FAQ-List-how-To-Search-how-To-t21017.html
If your not a member there become one.

2. You want a boost gauge, this is very important and should be done with stage zero. http://www.egauges.com (http://www.egauges.com/)

3. For a A-pillar pod try, http://www.gaugepods.com (http://www.gaugepods.com/)

4. Since you have a 740 your going to want to become a member of TURBOBRICKS. They can help you out even more then we can or Volvospeed can. But I warn you go over there and search first. I can tell you all your questions can be answered with a few searches on their forum. So just don't go asking away.
