4wheel drive conversion (remember some volvo models are 4wd now, so not hard), 507bhp+468lbft, sequential twin turbos, all kinds of crazy shit.

In the volvo C30, but thats the exact same car as the ST barring looks anyhow.

And another...



Twincharged one, KKK turbo and Lysholm supercharger.
384bhp and 408lbft.

I have had some dealings with Evolve, they are very good with Volvo's. They actually build show care for volvo to take to shows in the USA etc.

but does it really need that much stuff on it to make 'only' 500bhp...i mean 2.5litres and just the bigger turbo in the pic,i'd have thought would pull those numbers quite easily


those brakes are insane though! and i love the shape a bit 480

I have often wondered about the merits of using air conditioning as a means of cooling the charge air on a turbo car,and this is the system that has been used on this car. I assume it would be of a disadvantage in this country due to relatively low ambient temps when compared with u.s and a??
Anybody care to discuss?
