Performance Questions
I have been reading a little bit about the volvo 850 turbos and I have a few questions.
It seems that the 850-R uses the same motor but a bosch engine management system which makes 240 horsepower. I was wondering is that in the ecu and could I just plug an 850-R ecu into my 850 Turbo?
Also it said something about turbo models only coming automatic but I swear I saw some on craigslist saying 5 speed turbo ?
The last question I have is I have a manual boost controller hooked up to my 850 turbo I am working on getting a boost gauge to set the boost but can I use any universal adjustable fuel pressure regulator on the volvo or no because I plan to increase boost and just up the fuel pressure a little bit because Im def not paying 700 for an ecu upgrade when I paid that for the car lol...
thanks, Nick
