Re: RZ Design turbo install on S60R
Lucky has been tuning the car the past few days and is putting the final touches on it tomorrow, so I'll have an update for MVS about how fast it feels in the next few days! Here are some more photos from the install: Drain tube installed and ready for turbo: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-a...

Re: RZ Design turbo install on S60R
The R32 turbo is now on the S60R! Everything went together as planned, and the over the engine pipe and downpipe turned out beautifully! The car is now in the hands of Rob "Lucky" at ARD for tuning. He will basically be doing what you mentioned Matt, but with a fair bit of calculation invo...

Re: Going catless with OBX turbo back exhaust?
You won't run into any problems running catless as long as you let ARD know that the car is catless so they can tune for it. I know someone who even passed emissions running catless with an ARD tune. According to the data collected at the emissions testing facility, the car ran cleaner catless with ...

RZ Design turbo install on S60R
As many of you may know from Fast Friday #30, RZ Design has been developing a big turbo kit for all P80 and P2 turbo 5 cyl Volvos! This last weekend, we took delivery of a customer's 2007 S60R GT to test fit the very first production kit. The following is a photo log of the install and tuning that w...

Re: A Monster Bolt-On Turbo Kit: Fast Friday #30!
These Volvo 5 cylinders really do respond well to low ambient temps. Portland rarely gets below freezing, but I remember what a difference those really low temps made when I lived in Canada. Only problem was, the colder it got, the less traction the tires got :lol: As for "size" of the tur...

Re: A Monster Bolt-On Turbo Kit: Fast Friday #30!
Actually, reducing turbo lag is quite far down the list for track use. On a full size race track where speeds are relatively high compared to street driving or autocross, it is quite easy to keep the engine at high RPM where lag is for the most part non-existent. I would say that keeping engine temp...

Re: A Monster Bolt-On Turbo Kit: Fast Friday #30!
I'm also really excited to see what people do with them! The prototype R32 kit that we'll be installing in about two weeks on a 2007 S60R will be used for daily street driving as well as some serious track duty. I'm especially excited to see how it does on the track! The prototype kit is currently r...

Re: A Monster Bolt-On Turbo Kit: Fast Friday #30!
Hi everyone! Just made an account this morning. When I was 17 the only car's I had ever driven were my parent's NA 740 wagon and NA S70 which I thought was fast, so I thought the Audis I test drove were decently fast too :lol: I've had a thread about this turbo kit running for a while over on volvos...
