    Sounds like you know what you want. Those mods will see 300+hp comfortably.

    Volvo tuning are meant to be quite good

    19t and downpipe should see you well into the 300 hp club , mines running a minimum of 322 bhp at the fly wheel without a dp, and it s just bonkers!

    i think il do the work myself ive got a escort cossie as my fast car at the moment its running a 400bhp engine its amazingly fast and the braking and handling are great but i prefer a sleeper and cossies arent reliable.whats your views then on injectors?and do any of you run water injection?would it be just as good just fitting the 19t and ive already got a 3"system anyway.

    dont bother with the NA cams. You'll be fine with turbo cams. Otherwise sounds like a pretty solid way to go.
