Cool i may have some questions for you! I see you are a Volvo tech? Right? I'm a 12 year professional tech 10 years at FORD and 2 at Honda! Worked on alot of the Roush mustangs and Shelbys! Also Super Duty! But the diesel turbo set up is a little different then the Volvo! The superchargers where easy to work with! I will most likely post a thread in the tech section later! Nice meeting you!

55 with 2 boy's, 23 & 25, both Sgt's in US Marines, both injured.
I, ah, can't quite remember most of the cars...
1st was a 67 Opel Kaddet Wagon... Yup, how embarrassing in high school? One day I dropped my girlfriend off at home and drove down Rte 95 on the way to play a hockey game and the passenger seat fell out under the car. Little bit of rust... Still drove it for a few months and she sat in the back seat. LOL
2nd was a 69 Camaro SS. Miss that Baby! I couldn't sneak my G/F home because you could hear it a mile away... Had to marry her after that.
Went into the self customized van rage...
This was when we were called mechanic's not tech's.
66 Chevy Van, 3 on the column.
66 Dodge Van, rare one with no side cargo doors. Installed a Chevy 327 & 4 on the column. Transmission didn't like the mini driveshaft, (6 inch). Had a tendency to slam the transmission on bad bumps, but hey, what's replacing it 6 times?
73 Ford Econoline. and Yes! They all had **** carpet covering everything... 60 series tires all around...
Marrage. And I forget! A lot! On Purpose! (30+ years)
89 Jeep Cherokee.
4 in a row of 240's, wagon's & sedan's.
In the driveway now are the '90 740, '95 850 & the '01 V70 & a 2003 very built up '04 Wrangler, (my younger son's. lost part of his right leg in the stan. has to learn to to drive a stick again and DC not receptive to very big Jeep's)...
