Re: Trade? S70 1998

John,

Actually I discovered a company which makes upgraded ECU (found it on a link at Volvospeed). You will find a link to the site in this reply. Your turbo could get 40 hp upgrade with their chip!

I will certainly agree with you that Volvo turbos are vastly superior to the American attempts. However, even the Volvo turbos seem to go out every 100K to 120K at $1200.00 a pop. That miIeage is impressive for a turbo, but I am also a college student so I need to minimize costs occassionally. I nearly bought a 1998 S70 GLT (low-pressure turbo), but I needed the headroom that the moonroof took up, so I got a base model that had all the same features except the turbo and moonroof. Besides the base was in the color that I wanted, Emerald Green.

Happy motoring!
