99 c70 LPT C70 1999

TME in Sweden has much experience with boosting the performance of
Volvo turbo engines. Their stuff is sold in North America by IPD.
Expect to spend at least $900 to use their ECU updates. See:

www.tme.com
www.ipdusa.com

Ok, just checked IPDs latest printed catalog. ECU update for a 99
is $995. $658 for the exhaust (optional, but recommended with the
increase boost). It runs 12 lbs boost. 230hp and 275 lb/ft torque.
Deduct 10% if you don't get the exhaust. You have to ship them your
ECU and it takes 3 days to turn it around.

Note the HPT was about $1000 extra when the cars are new. A darn
good deal from Volvo I'd say.

The HPT has forged pistons and crank, sodium filled valves, thicker
cylinder walls and some other changes. TME and IPD are well respected
and if they think the LPT can take the extra load then I think you
are safe to go with it.
