I drive a 1998 Volvo s70 GLT. It has a mitsubishi 13g turbo, which if you have ever seen a turbo it is tiny. I have pulled the wastegate hose off and it now hits 10-14 psi whenever the hell it feels like it. That is fine with me because I'm running rich with 350/cc injectors. I have had the car for 2 years now. In that time I have gotten a boost and trans temp gauge, changed most of the dash colors and switch lights to blue LEDs. Tinted the taillights, gotten clear corners, upgraded to HIDS from a landrover LR3, put on sidemarkers (tinted those too), also added city lights as well. As for suspension, I have stock sway bars, but she now rides on kw var 2 coilovers... rebound/dampening adjustable. Sadly... she rides on stock rims with big stock tires :(. The engine is relatively unmodded at the moment. I have allowed the turbo to boost freely installed larger injectors (350cc), I got a pipercross CAI setup, thats pretty much it.

My plans include
-A lager turbo(planning on running 18psi)
-Waterinjection
-new intercooler
and many other things as well...
My car when I got her...

Eventually the battery will be relocated allowing for more free flowing air infront of the CAI.
