Volvo: 1999 Volvo v70 base, 1999 volvo v70, v70 base

Question
Ray,  I regularly make a 300 mile run through the mountains and want to pass it along to my son.  What can be done to make this car run smarter?  Better fuel economy, better performance?  Can a turbo be added?  Can an 17" or 18" wheel be added without making suspension or braking changes?
How can I make this car be all it can be?  Really great as an everyday driver yet have best performance features?  Where can I go for these part and a consultant to accomplish this?  Thank you.

Answer
Ira,
A car without a turbo does not have the ability to increase the preformance. I have not heard of any company that has preformance parts for non turbos. You can try ipdusa.com just in case there is something new. They have the parts for turbos, that I know. No a turbo can not be added, the engine block is different. The larger wheels can be added, but not too large of tire before it will rub on the inner fender liner.
