Default Need Some Advice

Well first off this is my first Volvo. I previously had an 11sec eclipse gst. I was planning on getting out of the performance scene and just getting something i can get in and drive everyday. I found an 04 s60 2.4l for a really good deal with 25k miles. I have really ****ty credit so i had to take what i could get. Does anyone know if there is any performance upgrades for this car? So far I cant find anything. I did notice the 03 s60 was a 2.4l turbo and is there a difference in the motors? Can that turbo setup work on my motor? I mean im sure the 03 has a little more beafed up internal parts but other than that? Hell i cant even find an intake system for this car, and i thought they made intakes for pretty much every car out there. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Finding a true CAI for an S60 sucks,an R is basically impossible. Assuming you know what you are doing since you already had a modded car, here's some site...

http://www.ipdusa.com/
http://www.eurosporttuning.com/

I don't know if there are any changes from 03-04.

Your N/A you shouldn't be thinking about performance. Honestly. Unless you want to spend a lot of money. And trust with a Volvo you will.

Either sell your N/A and buy the turbo model.

Or turbo your N/A but be warned it is going to cost you a lot of money and wont be worth it in the end.

You can put a factory volvo turbo on your non-turbo 03, but somthing to keep in mind, you will need to do a radiator change out, since the radiator you have is not set-up to accept the inter-coolers nipple. I have dont it before for a customer of mind when I worked at a volvo dealership, and it was very expensive. I think the guy paid well over $4,800 to have it done. Personally I wouldn't have done it, but its what he wanted. The engines they put in the non turbos, are exactly the same as the turbo volvos, but somthings are slightly diffrent such as the radiator, and the size of the turbo.
