Well, you missed out by about a year. I sold my baby to a very lucky guy about this time last year. I had done everything from a stainless steel steering rack to a larger turbo and everything in between. These are a great car, but you should realize that they are not any cheaper to buy / own than a new Volvo. Just because you can get one for $3,000 does not mean that is the only money you will spend. I had about $10k into mine and finally had to sell her because I was out of money and she was so sweet I could not use her to commute to school in. I was 24 at the time and it was too much money, although it was over a six year time frame. I do not want to discourage you, but at the same time you should realize the type of project you are considering, especailly a turbo. For service, the entire car was done by me, and if it was beyond my knowledge I went to George Town Volvo in Smithtown. They are the only ones who earned the right to touch my baby because they proved they knew what they were doing. Good luck, and here is a pic of the one I had to let go.. <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/frown.gif"><P>Sean<P> <IMG SRC="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1159157&a=9434509&p=30939722&Sequence=0&res=high"> <P>
