I guarantee you a much higher response rate to forum questions if you use periods and capitals.

Not a rip on you, just a helpful hint.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I guarantee that if you do not know what you are doing you WILL blow up the engine. Yes Volvo makes very strong and reliable engine but if you just crank up the boost all it takes is simple detonation and the engine is toast.
