I have not done it but have read about it. I was truly interested but everyone I talked to said it couldn't be done, or even if it could, my net gain would be zero. Please tell us how you're going to do it. I wish you success as I'm very interested in this.

I am currently building a hydrogen boost system for my 93 850. Whoever said it couldn't be done has never tried it. Thousands of people have done it on all other types of cars, why should it be any different on a Volvo? Maybe because Volvo owners are slow to accept new ideas? Others have improved gas mileage by 15% to 82%,but it' usually in the 30 to 45% range. Thanks fly346 for bringing up the subject, I have wondered for months why it's being ignored here when it's such a hot topic on many other sites. Not sure how you would plumb it on a turbo, but there must be a way as it been done on the big turbo diesel trucks.
