Default Hi guys I'm new here. I have a 940gl and I'm looking to get some performance out of i

Hi guys. I have a 940gl Volvo 4cyl non turbo. I recently made a cai for it but I want more performance out of it. Does any one know what can be don't to gain some hp? Or a company that sells a chip or headers, pulleys something.. Thanks .. I have also been wondering about puting a turbo on it. Can that be done?

Not really, besides keeping it well tuned. There is no worthy performance upgrades for that car. If you want more HP you should get a turbo. Converting what you have to turbo is cost prohibitive... Sell what you have and buy a turbo car, you'll come out ahead...

drop a small block alloy v8 in it, like a Ford 4.6l. massive amount of work. see the sticky in this forum from swiftjustice... https://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-...er-mods-40947/
