The problem is basically as stated in the title. I'm in the process of resolving it but would still like to hear what you guys think. The car simply DOES NOT wanna make boost. With a ported 15g, a MBC torqued all the way down, and a tightened wastegate...it still only manages to muster up...

Alright, so I purchased a boost gauge 2 days ago and it seemed to be calibrated perfectly to zero. Got it hooked up in the car and after it took a little boost while driving, when I turned off the car, it was hanging a tad below zero (1 or 2 lbs into vacuum). After a second run, it now hangs...

Okay...I notice it especially on kickdown in second gear (good from about 45 mph - 75mph). Normally my car LOVES to accelerate on the interstate, but it just seems like its dying up top. Where the powerband starts to come on strong usually, now it starts to pull hard, then just slacks off. I...

I saw one for sale on Ebay. I'm not just saying that it is for a volvo...It is made BY volvo for the 850's...does anyone know anything about its quality? I had never heard of a volvo "OEM" strut brace before... p.s. Hope this is not a repost

I own a 96 850R and have recently been curious as to gains i can make by playin around with the camshafts...ive been told by several people that the N/A cams work well in them. My question is pretty much how well...how will simply swapping my turbo cams for n/a ones affect my powerband? And...

Seems like everybody who has a really powerful car here has their own shop or atleast does their own work..for all of us (which might just be me) who dont have the tools (like a welder) or the facilities to do all of our own work...is there anywhere to go that provides good performance parts...

Hey everybody...i havnt posted in a while...I drive a 1994 850 turbo and was wondering if anybody had any idea as to if there was a reputable business that remanufactured volvo engines and/or transmissions in Virginia. I found a site for Thunderbolt who's services fit exactly what im looking...

You should read the "cars need oil" thread before you read this... I look under the car to find that a hose is, for lack of a better word, decimated!!! With that amount of damage it would be minutes before any new oil would join the old oil on the ground under the car...we head out in the XC-90...

I've said it before...my car was a hand me down from my mother when i turned 16...Its a 94 850 turbo and it was my baby from the moment she handed me the keys. Since ive had it ive done about 15-20 hp worth the upgrades as well as a little rim and tire upgrade. Well the last week or two, for...

I'm preparing to do some more serious modifications on my 1994 850 turbo and am wondering if there is any inexpensive way to tell if I have any significant compression loss in the cylinders. All the externals and electrical components of my engine are either brand new aftermarket parts or in...

I drive a 1994 volvo 850 turbo...it has around 180,000 miles on it but most of those are highway. It was previously owned by my mom so neglect may have been a factor. Since I've owned the car though, its been in the shop for regular services as well as a recent turbo replacement. It runs well...
