B230FT tuning

[rcsammy]

Hi everyone, just signed up and looking for some advice regarding my newly acquired Volvo!

I have a 85 Volvo 360 hatchback which has been converted to the 2.3 Turbo engine from an 97/98 940 so i believe it to be an FT not an ET

Im just wanting advice on what the common tuning methods or options are for the engine, i've been told 300+hp is ok to run on the standard internals reliably so i'd like to aim to get it to those figures

its currently running a FMIC, cone filter, 2" straight through exhaust and is running 10PSI of boost

what would you suggest my next steps to take should be?

im pretty sure the exhaust should be a larger bore, i want to replace it anyway as its rather loud.... i was thinking of running 2.5" or 3" pipe with a centre and rear silencer, this should still give me enough flow right?

any help appreciated
