Yes, there is. But the only 'upgrade' I would do is to get an ECU from Europe to plug into your car. This will get you more 'top end' speed, but useless for the USA with speed limits on high speed roads.

While your 5 speed may seem slow, it beats the heck out of the automatics on a race track, including low presure turbos. If all you want is a car that goes from 0-60, you own the wrong car. If you enjoy twisting and winding roads, you already have the best balance of engine and tranny offered by Volvo.
