Default new guy here!

Hello to all! New to the volvo, but not new to turbos. I have recently purchased a 2000 s70 se, 128k, champagne gold.. Every since '91 i have always wanted a 850, well as time passed i switched to the s70. I went thru a few cars brfore this one, lets see..... 91 talon turbo awd, 90 mustang 5.0, 300 zx twin tt, 93 honda accord, and a couple of trucks.. My s70 is in great condition, motor pulls strong, transmission shifts good, interior is really clean and very minor dings on the exterior. I do have a few plans rims,tires,stereo, 300hp from the motor and a good exhaust. I have bumped around the site and there is alot of good information, so i will be spending plenty of time here. Hope to be hearing from all of you..

Welcome

300 Hp is possible on a LPT s70, but it will take time and loads of money. Parts for Volvo's are not cheap. Just expect to pay a lot of money.

Examples: $700+ for an aftermarket downpipe. Also $500+ for an aftermarket catback system. Good ECU tuning and I mean good ECU tuing $700+.

Thank you.

I answered some questions in your new thread in the s70 section.

Start with STAGE ZERO.
