drive to the dealership and swap it for a T5 lol, but in all seriousness you have to change the intercooler and get it remapped and it will fly (for an oil burner anyway)

Made a few minor mods to mine.

First I did was to get the rear glass tinted, then went on to fitting larger 305mm discs.
Fitted a rear boot spoiler from Volvo.

I had a complete new exhaust custom made without the cat.... the D5 sounds great.

Installed Powerflex engine mount bushes and poly subframe bush inserts.

Remaped just the other week....waaaahhheyyy.

Tomorrow she's having the HD drop links fitted along with S/Steel Goodridge hoses and fluid flush.
12mm wheel spacers are going on tomorrow too.

I think that's it so far.....

D5 will usually map quite well.

You must be able to get some pretty good power out of them as I followed one (clearly modified) a while back and barely kept up, I couldn't believe it!

I've been in a D5 with a really aggressive map and it went like a rocket.

you've got a Powerflex engine mount on a D5, mine lasted 24hrs before it ditched it for a Volvo one as it was rattling the dash that much
