Default anyone ever upgraded an S40

i have a 2002 volvo s40 2.0 L turbocharged. and i was wondering if their are any kits or upgrades available. cuz i dont feel the car zooming in all aspect. had a leak in the turbo but got it fix and still not feeling much difference. so i am wondering if their r any mods that would make it more faster.

i searched online for upgrade kits but havnt found any. Anyone know where i can research this topic??? thx for any advice.

Great forum resource's thread to look at.

Also what are you looking for? Kits, what type of kits?

ECU Upgrades: Check out Inmotion, SpeedTuning USA and Upsolute. RICA I believe has a tune for your car, but your ECU would more then likely have to be sent overseas to be chipped as I don't think any US RICA dealer can do it.

There is always the option to go custom and I do recommend doing so. For the most part it can cost less then prefabbed items.
