Tuning a d5....

[philinengland]

Just had my 163bhp v70 d5 geartronic ecu remapped today, to 198bhp. This gives a combined bhp and torque increase of around 25%. The standard geartronic 163bhp v70 does 0-60 in 10.5 secs. If the performance improvement is 25% this means my 0-60 is around 8 secs.
However the real difference is mid range push. Held in 5th gear, I timed 80-100 in about 7 secs. I don't dare max it out but my guess is that its speed will be limited by the redline (135mph). Anyone tried the same?

I seem to remember about 5.x sec for my "N" reg T5 with RICA 280 and 200k on the clock. Maybe I was in fourth gear??
