    volvos and saabs dont have t3/t4's...maybe straight t3's. and to get enough flow to make 300whp on your ls motor you are most likely gonna need more that a stock internally gated volvo turbo. becuase #1 it probably will not support that power level and #2 you would be spinning the piss out of it to make high boost to get you there....that would ruin the efficiency of the turbo. i cant tell ppl this enough...just drop 3g's on a good kit and be happy with the results. i have seen so many ppl go the cheap way only to be dissapointed with the end result when shit is breaking and/or the car is just slow. im not saying it cant be done but seriously if you spend the money right the first time you will be so happy you did.

    I'm seriously thinkin about it now. I had heard that some people had had some success with the "junkyard" set up, but they probably knew a hella lot more than I do about boostin.

    Whats a good kit to go with? Is a T3 T4 really the best for my application? I don't want insane power. Just enough to maybe play with a few 'vettes and smoke Mustangs.
