I'm no expert on these, but when a turbo version is available and cheap, and its so cheap to get more power out of the turbo version then it seems hardly worth tuning the N/A engine, unless theres a reason you want to avoid a turbo? Read this and bear in mind i only paid 550 quid for my 2.3 turbo, they go for well under grand for useable ones, it'll be way cheaper in the long run to either swop in a turbo engine or sell and buy a turbo one. www.strikeengine.com/volvo-parts-tuning/volvo-700-900-turbo-tuning-guide.html

probably still be cheaper to buy a 2.3 HP turbo, they have 163bhp already, would make them reasonably brisk and I'm not sure you could get an extra 50 bhp out of your N/A one for 500 quid or so.
If you cant control your right foot then maybe a big tuned car is not the right car to be driving.
