I was thinking of putting a Rica 340 Chip on my 1998 Auto.... Is this Possible and would i need to do any other Mod's to compensate for the extra Power?

It already has a Rica 310 on it.

Would the Auto Box Survive ?

all depends how deep your pockets are, if you do the hardware and forge the engine with the right map in sweden they are seeing in excess off 1000bhp

310 is not the horsepower in reality mate, they are just codes really for the maps, you will need a custom map mate, get a 19t on then map it again, i should of had a drive in yours see what the difference was between a fwd manual to an awd auto

I find the difference is the AWD feels slow compared to the fwd of the T5-R, but if you look at the speedo it's no slouch, it's just smooth alway the way and that makes it deceptive, just wish I done a couple of runs in Jayneybabes V70R awd at avon when she had it there and seen what time I could get it down to. 1/4 mile probably doesn't suit the car as it really comes into it's own from 90 up and pulls like a train on passed 130 before I back out, I'll play with it again should we get the gearbox sorted sometime soon.
