   Typically peeps don’t boost the power of Volvo’s. Which is why you don’t see to many aftermarket parts for it. You could look into getting a new computer chip which manages your engine through Volvo. I don’t think they make a cold air intake for your model and by just dropping in a K&N filter ain’t gonna give ya much but saving loot on paper air filters. You might be able to opt for a new exhaust system. is what I use.

   Well, unfortunately, there isn’t much to do for an n/a 850. The most you can do is an exhaust, chip, and intake ending up with about 200hp. If you get an 850 Turbo. Then you can make over 300hp with those same mods.

   Here are a few Volvo performance sites

   Good Luck and Volvo for life
