@@jimmorrison4163 if yours has the 81mm bore instead of the 83mm one it should hold up to 100hp/cylinder. Changing the connection rods is recommended as they're the weakest part on the engine. If you can find the pistons from a T4 or a T5 they should also hold up for over 100hp each. The turbo is also a bit too small on the oem engine, but that could also be changed.

I have had an 09 C30 for about 6 months now and it's got almost 100k miles on it. Still gets 34 mpg on the highway if I keep it at 70 mph and about 17 around town (the same as my 02 Crown Vic.) I had to take it on a round trip from Salt Lake City, to Western Kentucky, about 3000 miles, and the outbound trip being done in 28 hours. The car is very very driveable, once you get the seat completely adjusted to fit. The most fun was heading east on I 40 from Steamboat springs going to Denver, it's basicly a go cart with a roof and windows. FUn ! except that it was the first time I drove the route and went slower that I would go on a known trip. I can't wait to get the time to do the trip again !

Volvo needs to take another crack at making/selling a hatchback like this in the States. Even if they have to offer an AWD version since Yanks seem to love their SUV's and Crossover models more then hatchbacks. I have a 2013 C30 with the polestar engine upgrade and it's a dream to drive. I know they sold the V40 in Europe which was a 4 door with less power then the C30. But the C30 deserves a rebirth for sure. One of the best cars Volvo made in the past 20 years.

I see a lot of the older P1800 in the body panels, etc. Especially the rear window. My best friend was mortified when his Dad bought a brand new 4 door wagon with the 5 speed manual tranny in 1965. After going on a weekend fishing trip with the two of them, and my Dad, I'll never forget how "tight" everything felt, and sounded. My Dad was sold, and bought his own wagon.two years later. It's a good thing gas was 0.43 cents a gallon cause.we rarely averaged over 0.20 cents a mile with Canadian dollars. Slightly larger then the American gallon. The roads we easily traveled would have destroyed my Dads older 1962 Chrysler Saratoga. Nice car, but limited to blacktop only. Those tortion bars were not the best.idea Chrysler eagerly advertised.
