Not sure what turbo is on your specific engine but you should be able to find rebuild kits or services that use the existing housing and install new compressor/impeller wheels that add pumping capacity. Older volvos used the Mitsubishi TD04 series which come with a range of pumping capacity (ie a 16T or 18T is a "bigger" turbo in terms of air volume than a 13T or 14T...). Can you see any model numbers/plates on yours to help ID what the current turbo unit is?

Default Turbo

It is a garreth Gt1544V turbo that is on the car i dont want to change internals because then its basically a hybrid turbo and they pop easily under load i want to make more boost from a bigger turbo a reliable one though and would you have any recommendations on a better camshaft for my car one that wont idle rough and help with the turbo...would a hybrid turbo pop on a stage 2 map obviously it will have all the air needed with the ramair filter intercooler and better throttle body?
