Hi, my first car was a 1988 volvo 760 turbo which i had for a year then i upgraded to a 850 turbo sedan. IT was great i had it for a year and a half till i sold it to buy an a6 because of quattro. In alaska we get tons of snow sometimes as much as 5 feet at a time altho that is not usual anymore because of global warming. But after owing turbo cars all my life and switching to a non-turbo car I knowice a big lag in power. If i am to keep this car it is going to see upgrades to increase power. Since i know little about AUdis but am learning i was wondering if someone here that know lots about this car could tell me what i can do to get more power. Simple or hard. I am willing to learn. Thanks and i hope to be making posts here and helping people with my new knoldege. Thanks

Me too!

I still have my '86 240 volvo wagon but its going up for sale shortly. Its at 200,000 + and still running strong! No regrets at leaving it behind as the allroad we just bought is really incredible. We don't see 5 feet of snow in california, but the highway patrol here makes all non-awd cars drive with snow chains on if it even looks like snow. We just got sick of it.

cheers

Where can I buy aftermarket parts, body kits, engine upgrades, duel sport exhaust and so on? For volvo there is a company that just sells volvo parts oem and aftermarket. I have a 1995 a6 (C4). All i can find is awasom sites in europe that don't ship to the us.
