Pretty well thanks, Justin. Took the 480 to Hamish a while ago. He put it on the dyno, fitted a bleed valve & increased BHP from 100 to 115 & torque from 160 to 200 NM. Wheel figures of course. The figures don't sound that much, but in a car just about 1 ton they're pretty useful. Oh, of course, that's before the prancing moose.

Cheers, Chris.

LMAO! Very good. ;)

Some very respectable figures for your 480, the true magic is in the handling on those machines - I loved putting mine into corners absurdly quick and smiling on exit. :)

Recently obtained from a well known guy on the 480 website
http://volvo480.dragons.org.uk/forum/
a re-mapped ECU. Haven't had it on a dyno yet, but others with it are seeing about 170-175 BHP. I love it; the power comes in more smoothly, & a little earlier than with the bleed valve. I'm really enjoying it.

Cheers, Chris.

Star city is being discussed on the 23rd, but I have just found out we are away for the weekend. Soon though, Like Mark said in another post, a bowling night would be good :)

nice increases there pal and i,m sure the moose adds plenty,
i,m toying with getting a 480T myself and preparing it for the track, what do they weigh?

Just about a tonne.

interesting, so yours will be running at 175bhp per tonne, thats about the same as a civic typeR :cool:
