Hi, the first things than u can do are a ecu mod
First is Robou Mod, that tune or modify, will give u around 1 Bar Peak boost and the car become a lot faster u will go around 160/170 Cv in base of condition of the car
Second options is Efi Parts Mod, this give you the chance to use a manual boost controller and decide how much pressure u want.
With this mod there is a thing to say, max boost u can handle is 1 Bar, why this? Cause 480 have a small injectors, and need more bigger for go to 1.2-1.3 Bar than bigger injectors.
480 Injectors are Hight impendence like 16.9 ohm if i remember correctly.
Other mods are use efi parts ecu mods and put T25/t28 turbo coming out from a saab or a 180Z, some people use T25 of Escort Cosworth with 440 injectors and give a lot of power, around 220 Cv with bigger intercooler jnjectors and turbos
Engine can handle around 230/240 Cv without opend the block .
For more mods or info u can search on volvo480 club forum or on google typing B18FT engine tuning or similar.
i hope to have help you
