Ive been a long time reader on this site so now Im looking for advice for some performance mods for my s70 t5. Ive had it almost a year now and after reading different articles on this site and talking to different friends Ive decided its time i spend some money and modifiy it. Ive already got an ecu tune and a K&N Filter and airbox so now im looking to do some more serious mods to it. Im porbably mostly looking towards a new turbo cause mine is starting to push oil into the intake. I have heard that when you upgrade the turbo you need a new exaust as well which isnt too bad cause I was planning to upgrade that as well. As for which types I should go with thats where I'm currently unsure. The only exaust system Ive been told to get for my car so far is an OBX type R. As for the turbo Ive been looking into a 19T provided I can get a good one or a K24 out of an s60R. I guess what I'm really looking for right now are suggestions. Thanks in advance guys I appreciate it!

Car in question is a 98 S70 T5M and you have the IPD SR5T Intake, ARD Green Tune, and Bilstein TC's with Killen Springs.

You'll need an OBX downpipe at least (they're the cheapest and easiest to find for our cars, and work with what you want from there. Soundwise is up to you.

Silicon vac lines should be the next thing we do, along with a boost gauge, to take care of any leaks and to tell what pressure you are running.

Someone here is gonna say Scone-pipe, which is probably right, since the Volvo engineers were smoking something when they created our stock J pipe...

Apart from that, modding never ends...

Pretty much what Tyler said. I have a SuperSprint 2.5" catback if you're interested on my black T5M, you would just need to source an OBX dp and high flow cat.
