In retrospect it might have been nice to do a baseline before doing all these changes


No need to baseline, I'm really not that interested. Judging from other dynos I've seen from the same car (2.4l LPT), I should end up around 240whp. Really, I'm just doing it because I'm bored and I'm too cheap to buy a new car.

New CBV spring will be here on Friday. Turbo rebuild will then be complete. Hopeful that I can swap this weekend. I'll eventually (once I get the tune) going from about a 6psi setup to 17psi. I'll most likely do a FMIC as well.

Picked up a spoiler for $30. Had to paint and fill a few chips, but I'll be getting it on the car tonight. I'll snap some pics. I test fit it over the weekend and it looks great. Volvo was even nice enough to have premarked the drilling points on the inside of the hatch, so it made it really easy to install/fit.

I'd call it a 10 foot job, at this point. I may take it to get sprayed at some point, but for now, I think it looks good. Shine on it is nice, and my wife thinks it looks good and says I'm just too picky.

That is one of the nicest Volvo wagons I have ever found on a Mazda site!

You make me miss my 68 Coronet wagon.
