Cold air or Turbo?
by ch0ng
I have a 1.9 L. turbo in my car right now. it is quite small compared to most turbos. should I take out my tubo and put in a cold air or upgrade my turbo?
I think it would be better to upgrade the turbo. I have a feeling that if you lose the turbo for cold air induction, you will not be impressed with the results. Its kinda like having a 350 in a car then then putting in a 305. Stick with the turbo and upgrade! 

Keep us posted on the progress.
damn you post whore.

Well, I try to make all my posts significant in the discussion. I'm not making a post just to say "cool" or "neat" or make one Emoticon gesture like this
Better watch out... the Moderator is on the prowl for meaningless posts to destroy
Man, come one... anyways, where do you plan on getting the Turbo for the Volvo? Is it a proprietary turbo for ONLY Volvos, or will any aftermarket kit fit?

I will most likely order an 18T from GReddy.
I think my friend is trying to sell his blow-off valve from his Conquest TSI...not sure if it's compatible with any Volvo turbos though...

doubtful but i will do my reasearch
cold air induction is no replacement for forced induction. do you know who manufactured your turbo and what size it really is. why dont you just keep your turbo you have now mod it with a cold air intake and a turbo back exhaust for now you will probably notice a near 30 horsepower gain
