It's real, I tells ya! Look, here's my mate "God lying on the bonnet of a purple Volvo 940 estate, lowered, and vaping".



Most of the 740/940 images that Bing AI image creator make often look like a mashup with a 240 or 850, unfortunately. It also struggles with the indicators, usually putting the orange on top and the clear underneath.

It seems to have an easier time with a modern Volvo. I do really like this V60 with the cross headlights.

A 13c at 15psi is about as much use as Anne Frank's drum kit.

Well as most people start out new to particular make and model. This is me. I'm trying to learn.
And your comment is exactly why I want to stop it spiking!

Running a 13c turbo above 12 psi only produces hot air and no more power really. The sport edition 940 ( manual) had the turbo+ kit which gave 14psi but only during certain conditions and for a short time. This gave it 190bhp.
Much much better is the bigger 15g turbo off a 850 t5; (or 16T turbo (this has a 360 degree thrust bearing)).
Fit one of those and a better cam and run it at 12 to 15psi. You'll need chips though.

I'm happy running the car at 11-12psi, with the stock 13c. That's why i'm trying to stop it spiking. I don't want too run 15psi

Baggy, I am just forced to conclude that Jesus really loves himself some camber Have you tried the new AI image generator? I haven't but I've seen people say it is amazing, so maybe it will create even better 940 wet dreamsus!
(forget what I said. I had just watched some news about it. I was talking about SORA, but I guess that's video, not image. Maybe Bing is still the best one for image.)

Like baggy said. My turbo did have an extremely large hole. For anyone interested in possibly diagnosing related issues, here is the thread: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=331817

And this is how the wastegate port looked:

Looks like the boss ain't the only one in this organization that is a Volvo enthusiast.


When you swap in a big block you have to flaunt it to the boyyys.
