Default Twin turbo in an s80?

I'm driving a 2004 s80 2.5t awd.

Is it possible to install an additional turbo with the stock turbo or would I have to replace the stock one with an aftermarket.


Thank ya =]

You can go with a bigger turbo.
Not exactly sure which one you have in there now but you can go bigger. I would also get the ECU programmed as well.

You can get a chip which you install.
You can get a kit which allows you to read the Maps and then you send you info to the company and they send you the new maps which you then flash to the ECU.
You can send in your ECU to a company and they do it for you.

The S80 from 99 up to I think it was still an option in 2003 or2004. Also the first year or 2 of the XC90 had the T-6 as well.

It will cost a lot of money to do a twin turbo setup on your S80 and you'll end up spending more then the car will eventually be worth.

I'd suggest a single turbo upgrade or just do a full turbo exhaust upgrade and ECU upgrade from IPD USA or RICA (ECU that is). I'd have the turboback exhaust done by a local shop that can mandrel bend. 3" downpipe to a 2.5" to 3" mandrel bent catback system with a free flowing muffler such as a BORLA or Magnaflow.

ok, sounds like I'll stick with just the ECU upgrade (will save me money too), I'll look into that.

Thank you guys
