is it not fast enough stock?

if you are running stock in your volvo right now chances at the type-s, if you drive it correctly, will blow it away.

the difference will be in the get-up, it will take some time to get into it's optimal powerband, but once it's there it stays there and is very clean (much like the prelude, only faster)

turbo kits for the k20 are around, but before jumping into it I suggest getting it and getting used to it. It takes a good tune for high compression engine to run well on boost and you will void the majority of your waranty just by putting it on.

--i confess i'm still thinking about installing a turbo on my GSR, but then again it is way out of waranty and the money lost in resale is no where near as much as you would be seeing.
