So true,
those of us that have done it remember the drive home especially joining the M5 :mischievo , those that haven't had it done just sit there thinking it can't be that good, can it?

Put it this way, i took the missus with me when i had mine done in August and i swear there are still nail marks in the bolsters of the passenger seat where she hung on for dear life as i couldn't stop trying out the extra power at every oppurtunity. She also said i had the biggest smile on my face since our wedding night. lol. :confused:

[Storm-Troll]

Its not THAT good. Driving it day in day out, you soon get used to it and forget that it isnt standard, especially if like me you dont have a louder exhaust.

One way of getting that feeling back though is by only driving it on the weekend having been driving a non turbo 1.7 diesel, only problem with that though is that you thrash it to within an inch of its life at every opportunity.

Best thing is to keep upgrading every so often, so 19t next, once your bored with that, garrett etc etc etc.

Is yours a manual?

[Tosh]

If it was the 304 map, should be an auto. 310 for the manuals normally.

No, 310 is for C/S/V70 T5, not 850.

Very true,i use my t5r to get me to work and back,all in a 14 mile round trip and then just when i'm bored.

My other car is a 2004 honda civic 1.6 vetec which i drive if we go out as a family:snail: . I soon remember how powerful the volvo is when i get back in it. :biggrin:

[wootty]

getting mine done tomorrow,got a long drive though.
