This is not tuned yet. But i don't know how much the tuning will do for the bottom end. Once it gets to 3500 it takes off like a rocket. Just thought I would get anyones opinion on it. I have an 18T with 3" down pipe. I get 5 psi at 3000 and 10 at 4000 rpms. Thank you to anyone that respopnds.

If you don't have any boost leaks, your turbo could be damaged (and thus not able to spin up easily / quickly).
I'd check your intercooler hoses for holes (especially the hose that connects to the throttle body.)
Let us know.

maybe GLT cams are made for upper RPM
my car is sluggish on the bottom because of the 4* of retard timing from the cam gears and the high stall converter

So did I miss something. Am I not aloud to post more than one forum. Just thought I would get as much info as I could. I know the chip is going to make a big difference. I just wanted to know if anyone had had experience with this. I know there will be lag I just didn't know if mine is to much. I had my own opinion about the situation I just wanted to know if I was on the right track. I have to drive it like it is until unichip could fit me in.Newbie I am to the volvo scene.

I just meant that with those mods and a stock ECU, you should know that it's not going to run nearly was well as it should be.
