Twin Turbo S60

So i'm contemplating my next fun car. I would love to stay with Volvo. Maybe the S60. Am I out of my gourd thinking about making an S60 a twin turbo? Let me know what ya'll think.

Are you going to drop a T6 engine in there? I think you might run into space issues. My guess is you'd be better off buying an R and hopping it up.

Don't even attempt it. It won't be balanced and it won't make things any faster. The S80 T6 w/ the twins have one turbo for cylinders 1-3 and the other for cylinders 4-6- still an iffy proposition in my opinion. Plus I don't think it will fit, AND your computer would be lost knowing what to do with your setup (don't think any tunes out there to make your computer recognize twins in your S60 anyway). Best bet is to spend your money on a better tune (such as IPD) and stay with what you have or upgrade your current SINGLE turbo to a bigger one or buy a different/faster car (if this is what you're after).

Ya. Kinda what I was thinking but wanted a pro's input. I'm a little unfamiliar with the s60. What is its safe top out HP? Keeping as a daily driver.

It can be tuned to stage 3 w/ aquamist and larger intercooler, turbo and IPD tune (you'll need all those silicone hoses and T-bolt clamps, etc.). W/ all of this and beefier suspension you can still use it as a daily driver- can push it to close to 400HP... Currently the S60R can to 300 w/o the extra's. But let me warn you, we're talking some serious money here.

Ya. They are still a very heavy car, am I right?

Yes, as are all Volvo's
