My wife doesn´t like dynamite...
My aim is drivability and power. If it was my own car and notthe
family car I would have gone for a 16-valve beast with RS500
turbo, Toyota fuel injection and the works.
Then you´ll end up with 450Hp...at least.
To answer some questions:
- No, standard Volvo head gasket. I have discussed this quite a bit
and this is sufficient for me since I have lowered my compression
with the Group A head and doesn´t use much boost.
I have more concern for my intercooler (plastic sides, not stapped
at the moment..).
- No air mass meter? Lillen at MagnumRacing has tried, and it is
easy to end up with big ugly holes in your pistons.
There is also something with drivability here, isn´t it Topi?

And just a comment: The knock sensor is tightened with 2Nm.
(You can help me with the conversion Topi....:-D )
Loosen it to 1Nm. That way it won´t detect piston sounds which
becomes more of a problem the more the car is driven.
The pinging will be detected anyway.
