I hate to be a nob, but that's not strictly true. All the 'T5' are ~220 bhp, the T5R is ~240 by way of an overboost to 1 bar, the 850'R' is ~250 brake by way of higher boost, different turbo, forged internals (previous ones are known as rod-benders) and larger injectors, they also have a LSD in the gearbox and are all FWD except for the few AWD ones released.
Re the Rica - have you seen all the arguments between tuners/'experts' on the volvo boards regarding these? Numerous have been dyno'd and none at 300 brake by just changing the chip.
Also, I don't see how you can go faster for less, £650 is a nice price indeed - I paid more than that for mine and my mate got his for £500 off eBay - why are you deciding to race it?
