LOL no because this car was buildt in 2002, long before ppf existed.

About the horsepower issue. I belive he under-rates the power. This car must be close to 500 hp with 1,4 bar, because ppf did manage to get 400 hp out of an M50 with only headgasket and headstuds at 1 bar.

Check out the manifold on this oldschool Volvo 140. Its so tight in the enginebay on those cars that the M50 and turbo almost didnt fit.
