doing searched may get me general answers, but not specific enough.
Plus, isnt that what this forum is for?
I did research on blow off valves, but what I saw said that ones the reciculate the air dont help performance. But as was said here, thats doesnt add up cause it will give the MAF incorrect readings. SO, the search I did on BOV's would have led me to get the wrong kind and possible cause damage!

Neither BOVs will give the MAF incorrect readings. The MAF readings will be correct. You will be giving the ECU incorrect readings by releasing air from the system that the ECU thinks is there and has already adjusted for (ie fuel, timing, etc). That is why you will run rich and possible bog down if you vent to atmosphere...HURTING performance. Recirculating BOVs will keep the air that the MAF has accounted for in the system. Either, adding a BOV on the tiny 15G is completely pointless and a waste of money that can be spent better elsewhere. Seriously, I'm running a 19T at 14-18PSI, pushing way more air than your 15G will ever be able to produce, and I'm still using the stock CBV and diaphragm with zero issues.
Let me have the honors:

lol lol lol What was I thinking. They're all gone now except the ipd banner on the rear windshield. Volvospeed/Midwest Crew on rear quarter windows, and Volvospeed banner on front windshield.
Perhaps I can redeem myself with a pictures of these:

LOL, as I was looking at the window that Matt posted the one that stood out to me as being funny was... NO FAT CHICKS. That is sick. So I googled "no fat chick stickers" and a lot of different versions stood out.
So I showed my wife of 25 years the sticker as I was laughing and she said... that goes for your mother... LMAO. She is something. Then she went on to say, that sticker must lead to a lot of broken windows. The thing that made it so funny is that she spit those comments out so fast it was like she had them ready. Funny!!!

Thanx guys, you have given me alot of good info.
To be honest, when I started this post I had no idea that the 850's had such a following, and that so many had been tuned for performance.
I saw the Turbo Brick sticker on one of those windshields, ill look for that online.
I would never put tons of stickers on my car. For one, it will be used for some business purposes at times.
My scion xb has 2 stickers, one says "I love my toaster (pic of toaster)
and the other says "aerodynamics are overrated"![Cool](https://volvoforums.com/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif)
Same thinking behind the muffler, I want added deep tone when I mash the throttle but I dont want a loud drone when just cruising.
I do have some ideas for those carbon fiber sheets you can buy on ebay![Smile](https://volvoforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I wish I could find a stock spoiler for a decent price. Only one I have found was over $200 and unpainted.

maybe someone has, but I doubt it goes on without mods. the accord wagon has a very slopped (more hatch back) looking rear end.
Plus, around here those suckers are a rare site! I can see a volvo nearly every day Im on the road, but I may only see a accord wagon a few times a year.
I went on the site and got a "www.turbobrick.com" decal. I got it in black so it wont jump out at you.
