You did not say what version of the 850 you owned other than it was a wagon. If it is the NA version you would have to change the engine out in order to make it "a 300 hp rocket". Changing out the ECU, exhaust etc will only give you the low 200's. Adding the low pressure turbo would add a few more but would have a drastic effect on engine life. Forget the high pressure turbo - buy a Volvo 855 T5, T5-R or R, then you can make it a 300 hp rocket.
