Turbos 101

We get a lot of calls about turbo charger basics, so we put together this short video to provide an overview of what a turbo does and how it is controlled.

ipd Performance Coil Kit

ipd’s new performance ignition coil featuring the MSD BLASTER coil restores lost power from the old factory ignition coil and provides increased performance for highly tuned setups like our stage III kit. Our kit mounts the coil on rubber isolators to reduce engine vibration and it’s also designed to work with the ipd short ram intake which insulates the coil from high engine temps by locating it within the area where cool air enters the intake. ipd performance coil kit fits both turbo and non turbo 850 and 70 series models from 1993-1998 and takes approximately 30 minutes to install. Includes MSD coil, ipd 8mm silicone coil wire, mounting bracket, fasteners and instructions to provide a clean, simple installation.

HD Turbo Control Valve

ipd’s new precision turbo control valve provides rock solid boost control and high accuracy restoring power from failing solenoids that are slow and sluggish. Slow spool time and fading boost pressure is common with weak factory solenoids and can rob you of power you didn’t know you even lost. Designed to handle high heat, high pressure, and tough environments Ipd’s new turbo control valve was built with longevity in mind. With crisp actuation and precise control you’ll regain lost power from poorly operating stock units. Direct fit, typically installs in under 10 minutes with no modifications required. Fits all turbo models 1998-2008.*We recommend 7 feet to do all three turbo control valve hoses.

ipd S60R & V70R Intake

Developed exclusively for the 2004-2007 R models, this intake kit provides an additional RAM air source for the factory air box. By routing air from the fog light grill this intake captures air pressure from normal driving and puts that pressure to work in the air box providing shorter turbo spool time and increased acceleration. Initially developed by the online community we have worked together to provide this kit to all R owners who are looking for a stealthy kit that provides real gains in intake air flow. This kit fits drivers side fog light grill only, passenger side kit coming soon! Compatible with ipd AMS air intake system.

Ipd Turbo back exhaust system

Ipd's new turbo back exhaust system provides the most bang for your buck as performance upgrades go. Our system includes the downpipe as well as high flow catalytic convertor, resonator mid section, rear muffler section, Ipd signature exhaust tip and all the clamps and fasteners you'll need for a seamless upgrade.

Our freer flowing system allows your Volvo's engine to breath easier and build more power at an earlier RPM. This means the turbo can spool up sooner and add power to the midrange where you can really use it. Made from T409 stainless steel this system will provide long lasting performance while looking good all the while. High quality V-band clamps ensure leak free operation and superior constructions means easy install for you.

Pair our turbo back system to an Ipd ECU upgrade and you can up your cars power by as much as 20%
