After riding my Volvo V70 AWD (1998) 2.4l with the light pressure turbo for three months I have found it does not have the same "kick" in it as my old Volvo 855T5 (1995).
For the 855 2.3l there's a turbo replacement unit made by Mitsubishi. Which improves the breathing and respons. Is there any similar replacement for the Volvo V70 with the light pressure turbo?
I want some more kick out when "hitting the floor".
Any ideas?

as far as i kow, all the turbos on volvos are mitsu's. try changing the cbv valves in the turbo. read somewhere that the stock pieces warp from the heat and a stiffer one will help with a little more boost. also, have you tried the old plugs/wires/filters/rotor way?
