What should I upgrade first?

How to go faster, stop quicker, and turn harder. Chips, exhaust, larger turbos, bigger/slotted/drilled rotors, high performance brake pads, manual boost controllers, performance shocks/struts/springs, airbox mods and more! Also discussion on HID and Xenon lights, aftermarket foglights and other exterior lighting.

What should I upgrade first?

Post by NewToVolvo850s »

I have a 1995 850 Turbo that i just replaced the head gasket in and new exhaust system. I want to do some more minor upgrades to make it a little bit faster. What would you guys recommend? I have about $450 to blow on it.

Silicone IC hoses from FCP, new silicone or rubber vacuum lines and a 14psi tune from ARD. right within your budget too.
