this just keeps getting better and better! What kind of mods do you have on your Volvo? My friend has a chipped '96 850 Turbo, he is browsing swedespeed all the time.

It's still kinda new to me, all I've done so far is put a open element air filter with an aluminum block off box to keep the heated air out. It didn't make any performance difference, you can just hear the bypass valve a lot more.

Going to fab a 3" downpipe sometime warmer with marshall's help.

There is tons of stuff you can do for your car. Mechanically all I have installed is a Neuspeed short shift kit. I do have a GIAC chip, but I am waiting till I find a spare ECU so I can avoid voiding my warranty. For suspension, I have the Eibach pro kit and dampers sitting in my living room. I sold my old rims and tires for original Audi Forged alloy RS4 wheels and Kumho Ecsta Supra tires. The wheels are very light weight and $$$ (the reason I bought cheap tires). I am waiting till it gets warmer to install the suspension components. For this summer I want to convert to the TT DP, TT DV, and TT exhaust. If only money fell from the sky. No powerhouse here, just all fun with my daily driver.

Awesome, you have a nice car, like the wheels. I plan to do a chip and full 3" exhaust. With the chip and exhaust I should be around 270hp at the wheels.

Before I bought the S70, I was seriously looking at an Audi wagon, red with black leather, 5 speed and it had the 1.8 liter turbo engine.

I've also added an a-pillar pod and vdo boost gauge and an IPD poly to motor mount. The 70 series don't come with any type of boost gauge

Just like to thank everyone for coming to the first meeting tonight. Saw a lot of new faces and we now have a "hookup" at the dragva forums. Did I mention wrx's rule? I love them i love them i love them, whoever owns one is a pimp.

In other notes, marshall you guys going to be working on that thing in the morning/afternoon? If so I might stop by while I'm at "work." Hehe, gotta love I don't have to be anywhere at anytime and get paid for it. Fear the government awd astro!!!
