850 gets new pipework & more press!
Hi All,
Developments a-foot in the world of the 850 Monster Lump of Quickness. I've had a lot of work done by the fabulous Iain Ball at Power Engineering, who has solved a boost leak problem and got me back to my original torque curve. We're now showing 314 lb/ft and she's flying!!  Also - just when I thought her published days were behind us - lo and behold the guys at Track and Race car magazine go and publish her again! This time in an article called "Buy before it dies" which gave their top list of cars you have to own! I was really pleased to have a volvo on it - and even better my one!!!!  I've attached the new powergraph and a copy of the article for interest. Phil

Nice work Phil - really good to see Volvo being promoted in the motorsport press! Iain is a legend.
I've been talking (at work) to some of your colleagues and keep telling them to say hi...have they? cheers James |
