Today I discovered a "doghouse" stabilizer in the back seat on the floor. I have seen these cross members installed in muscle cars to add structural integrity in the presence of obscene amounts of torque and power. . And in other cars just to hold them together due to some oversight in manufacturing. My v70 GLT is practically a T5 as a boatload of after market goodies were installed over the years. Somehow they must have either taken this stabilizer (?) out or never put it in. Does it need to be installed? I plan to do no more racing than any other Volvo owner save Paul Newman and David Letterman, ,I don't think Paul Newman drives much anymore. The car had a boost gauge mounted in the front left corner but it is now with other parts in the back. My Saab 900 had such a gauge in the instrument cluster and I don't remember it ever telling me anything I didn't know.

So, once I identify some of these other parts, I might have a garage sale. Two very solid brake or hub looking components I didn't really check out since it was getting dark. Also a collection of blue PVC looking fittings. I know the fellow from whom I bought the car changed out the turbo charger for one that he no doubt got from IPD. They must have been out of superchargers. This car is unreasonably fast. . .more so than my 940 turbo and it was rabbit fast.
I would appreciate any advice as I am decidedly not a gear head. I do love a good car however.
Thanks,
