the s60r is 300hp/300tq…and a STOUT motor. ive been looking into one of these and will probably buy myself one as a grad gift.

i talked with EVOLVE (aftermarket volvo parts guys) and they are in developement of a complete turbo upgrade kit that will swap the turbo out, dual intercoolers, new software, 3" turboback exhuast, and whatnot…  
they say it will yeild around 440awhp…STOCK MOTOR

imagine THAT in a c30 that weights a few hundred pounds less and a more agile chassis
