Default V70 2.5T SE LUX - I want more ponies

Hi guys and gals.

I have a 2010 2.5T SE LUX, the 231BHP petrol.

I’m after more ponies out of her, I just happen to have a mate who owns a salvage yard and has plenty of parts from all ranges of volvos.

First step would be great if I can use parts from other models, so maybe the turbo/injectors from the T5, although I don’t think that will work with the pressure difference between the 2 engines, but if I don’t ask I don’t get.

I’m after upgrading the intercooler, exhaust and air filter then a remap but I’m coming up short finding retailers so any help here would be great.

I’ve already upgraded my centre console with the face lift version but, will it be possible to upgrade it again with a console from the 2012+ models??

I’ve got the bigger callipers and bigger pads and discs fitted, but if anyone has any recommendations that I’ve not listed that would be great as well.

How much BHP can this engine push before reliability becomes an issue?

Many thanks
