Hi Pidster and welcome to TorqueCars. I hope you have deep pockets cos the tyres on those cost a fortune and it will just keep on eating them!
Dont forget the exhaust as well as induction - aim to match the airflow in and out of the engine.

my mate has a tyre yard so tyres wont be too expensive lol. had a quote of a remap place and they sed thell take it to 277 bhp for £325. what induction kit you got for your turbo?
I stuck with a panel air filter. I didn't want the induction noise. Really tempted to do the airbox mod we've been discussing on here though.

welcome to the forum pidster,nice car.
first things to do:a remap,go for MTE,not cheap,but i think the best(cost me 600 euros)
an airbox,go for BMC,""",""",cost me 300 euros
a full exhaust system,go for ferrita 3" ss+catlyc converter/downpipe,
cost me 1500 euros.
if you done that you would have approx 290 bhp/420nm,so you'll be on your way,as they say.
after that still lots of potential/possibillities.

not sure just wanna go for 300bhp b4 xmas then see from there what my wallet looks like lol wanna get it lowered after my remap and indution
Glad you have a ready source of tyres. With 300bhp you will certainly need it.
Dont overlook the benefits of weight reduction. Volvo panels/parts are notoriously heavy.
