i have a '95 850 turbo. im not lokking to go to crazy maybe 300hp. my question is will a stock mitu evo 8 turbo fit on my volvo? j/w. and if it works will a ecu upgrade or re-flash be required? also what is the compression ratio for an 850 t?

1. What is your budget like?

2. What turbo comes on the EVO 8? Model etc...

3. An ECU upgrade would be a good idea to maximize the power and potential of the new turbo. Likefrom RICA or IPD.

4. You should really get a BOOST/VACCUM gauge if you don't have one already.

Also you should get a gauge pod.

5. Next you should really get turbo hoses from either SAMCO, which are sold by http://www.vivaperformance.com Or get them from Stylin Motors, http://www.stylinmotors.com

6. You should upgrade your vaccum lines with silicone ones from http://www.stylinmotors.com

7. If you want to maximize the performance from upgrading your turbo you should really have a 3" downpipe made and a 3" free flowing catback system made for you.

Oh I am sure you can somehow get that EVO 8 turbo on there, but it would take a lot of custom work and custom tuning.

I suggest getting a 16T, 18T or 19T from Volvo.

i did research b/c i couldn't think of the size off the top of my head, but i couldnt find it so i found the evo 9 size which is a little bigger than the 8 it's a tdo5hr-16g. From than i would assume its almost the same maybe a tdo5-16g. i guess ill have to do more research before i decide what to do. one other question does the euro sporttuning intercooler work better than a FMIC (front mount intercooler) or is the stock intercooler good enough?

I don't think it is a direct fit sorry.

I could be wrong.

From what I have been told the Stock intercooler on the Front wheel drive cars is a very good stock one.

This might be of interest to you
