Allo again! So after much reading and lurking in the shadows of t bricks I can honestly say a few things for certain...
1. Volvo enthusiasts will relentlessly ridicule and devour their own kind like no other enthusiast, except maybe Honda freaks.
2. We seem to have the least in performance upgrades available to any other auto manufacturers besides say...triumph.
3. Be it good or bad, we turn all the heads!
With that said I've also noticed when people opt to add snail power to their otherwise naturally aspirated brick, the turbo ecu swaps are the only answer to safe air and fuel management amongst all else those nifty boxes filled with unicorns and rainbows regulate. But let's just say for poops and laughs the world's supply of turbo ecu's suddenly vanish from our grasp... can the stock na computers be flashed? Is it something that would accomplish the same goals as the swaps and keep our custom jobbies running like a voraciously raped ape?
I also haven't seen much advice offered on the ignition system upgrade beyond basic tune up goods and the turbo ignition system module swap. Again, if said turbo brains weren't available to get would the installation of colder plugs and better wires, cap, rotor and upgrade to performance coil suffice? Assuming of course we all run high octane at all times and don't go bat**** crazy with boost.
Just got curious and figured I'd toss the ideas out and wait for the piranha frenzy.
