TinyTim Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I own a 1997 Volvo 850 GLT and I was wondering if anyone has ever done a turbo swap on one of these. I want to put a bigger turbo on it but I dont know what to get and what the engine can handle. If anyone knows anything it would help. I also want to put a boost controller and guage on it. Any suggestions for what i should get and how i should go about getting what I need would be helpful.Thanks,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
