If you have a low pressure turbo, forget it. The high pressure turbo has chips available from IPD and others. It will boost the BHP to around 300 and limit the torque to 275lbs.

Unfortunately, you cannot have both - gobbs of BHP and great gas mileage.

The LPT should give you over 27mpg on the highway if the engine is in good condition. My HPT gives me 26mpg at 70mph, of course with clean plugs and good oil.

I don't know why dealers poopoo the chips, there are acouple of different kinds. One for the USA, one for Europe, both of which are Volvo company chips, and many for blow-the-doors-off high speed autobahn driving. I would never consider drag racing my turbo, with a 17G installed and modified BOV. I don't like piston rods poking through the side of the block. Besides, 5mpg at full throttle is not my cup of tea.
