Some kind if confounded trickery...

I have a 1.7ES S/R (can someone tell me what the S/R stands for??) and having recently put a random £15 cone air filter and a different pipe to give direct air feed to it the car now unquestionably sounds absolutely brilliant however gve her a good rag through the gears and in 2nd, 3rd and 4th at just above 3000rpm you would think a turbo kicks in! It just pulls like f***! It just goes and goes and goes, not only does it just pull well up to 4500rpm it seems to just keep accelerating with more fury the closer to 4500 you get! Am I the only one or is this standard? Has my eBay come filter made an improvement? Or did volvo design some kind of vtec rivalling magic?
In other news a job means I'm getting her decat-ed and taking the mid box out, the mechanic I use has assured me that because if the age (91) he can still legally MOT it, I'll just have to figure out what to do with the wee sensor on too if the cat... Any ideas so I don't have an engine warnin light? I don't like lights on my 47000 mile instrument panel
Cheers
