    volvo 740 estate, 232k miles!!

    2.3ET engine,(B230ET),
    A cam (hottest volvo cam for these engines)
    larger .60/.58 trim t3 turbo (.48/.42 is std) still got it, possibly for sale but rather keep it as a spare.
    boost gauge.
    oil pressure gauge
    oil temp gauge.
    EGT gauge
    MBC
    and 13psi of boost. std boost is 5psi on the lower volume turbo, so its quite a lot.

    wil be upping the boost to ~17psi when I get some bigger injectors, higher delivary rate fuel pump, and finished polishing up the head, will get 3angle valve job done by someone else when I take head off too (might as well). at the mo it probably makes around the 220bhp and 300lb.ft mark (187bhp and 230lb'ft is std on the smaller trim turbo, and other std kit). when I go 17psi, looking more like 240-245bhp realistically and over the 300lb.ft mark.

    I know a guy with my future set up and he is just starting to nudge 14.1's, HOWEVER, he needs a new LSD or locking diff or something, and also a custom diff cradle as std one (its a massive chunk of metal) tend to break when launching the things hard. traction never seems to be a problem. when he gets everything sorted, and started his weight saving program I reckon he'll hit right at the top end of 13's
