So I picked up my 2006 euro 4 185bhp d5 s60 the weekend, carbis fantastic except the performance I was expecting, to to clarify, I put it againts my euro 3 s60 d5, cars side by side in 3rd at 2k rpm, the euro 3 (163bhp) pulls away for a second then both cars are the same, the 185 cannot pull closer towards the 163, I was expecting it to be a fraction quicker than wat it is, any ideas???? I know the euro 4 runs a bigger turbo and that expalains the slight pull the 163 gets. Any ideas appreciated

my 163bhp got 174bhp on the dyno & as far as i know is standard, so perhaps its not as far behind on the power as the paperwork says

Map it :)

I didnt see a big difference either between euro 3 & 4
both mapped and unmapped

euro 3 sports map was better, though it is quite brutal

No matter how power you've got, it won't get any faster till you clean and get rid of all that extra weight it causes.
