Volvo 850 » Stage III Upgrade for T-5 Models

ipd’s 300+ HP Stage III Package for 1994-1998 T5 models

Get the most from your T5 with the ipd Stage III package. The kit includes an upgraded 18T turbo from the European market R model with a huge 70mm turbine outlet, an ipd custom 3” stainless steel down pipe with hi flow metalcat to mate up with the huge turbine outlet, an ipd 304 stainless steel 2.5” cat back sport exhaust and fully optimized stage III software. Adding nearly 100 HP the package provides excellent throttle response that builds to a strong hit early in the RPM range and pulls hard all the way to redline. The package can be installed in a day and is a direct bolt on that requires no modifications. Keep in mind that this is a high output package that takes the power as high as you can go without opening up the engine to upgrade the rods and pistons, so it is vitally important that you ensure you car has is in solid Stage ZERO condition and that all peripheral engine management systems are in good working order. If you’re not familiar with the term “stage zero”, give us a call and we’ll be glad to discuss it with you.

Excellent replacement but make sure you purchase the 3 exhaust outlet studs and the 2 bottom studs for turbo to manifold as origs are brutal to remove from stock unit. New exhaust nuts should also be on list on needed items along with the water coolant hose and copper banjo-fittings crush washers for oil/water lines.

whoa! just installed this on a 2000 V-70R and i must say, this is the single best performing ecu uprgade i have ever installed, and since i own a performance shop that says alot! quicker boost up, superb all through the rpm range, way more power overall, and there is definitally something to be said for all wheel drive burnouts hands down a winner, hats off to ipd for such a remarkable product! and ya surely do get what ya paid for!

nice turbo for a 850, but i'm wondering why the prices between america and europe are so different, just comparen the prices for a 18t turbocharger, in america it costs 1200 some what dollars in europe this same 18t turbocharger straight from the factory costs only 829 euro's
just curious why that's such a big difference

ipd customer service response: If you use the exchange rate as of Oct 1, 2008... 829 euros equals about 1150 USD. We're unsure of your pricing issue.

Another good product marketed by IPD. I had them do a stage-II softloader with torque-limiter delete on my 2000 V70R and it's amazing. There's nothing quite as satisfying as breaking loose all four tires. Wife says it's "wicked, scary fast fun" when she drives it. Data logging is a great feature to have as well.

The only real niggle is that it gives an ETM error code and trips into limp mode if you use the cruise control.

ipd customer service response: This programming glitch only affects 2000 R models with stage II software. It only happens when the boost level exceeds the original stock boost level WHILE the cruise control is operation. Very unusual circumstances.

Quick bolt on - a real change in boost. IPD was also very helpful in providing instruction and consultation.
