    BSR PPC Tuning Kit - V50 T5

    Anybody rate these?

    http://www.bsruk.co.uk/tuning_produc...=S40N/V50&e=T5

    I'm looking to get my car chipped... I like the idea of plug in yourself and upgrade the ECU - just like Bluefin for the Focus ST... however they don't do this for Volvo.

    BSR do 3 Stage's of tuning...

    Volvo S40N/V50 T5 220/230Hp 2004-2008 Stage 1 Stage 1: 258Hp / 412Nm
    Volvo S40N/V50 T5 220/230Hp 2004-2008 Stage 2 Stage 2: 258Hp / 412Nm
    Volvo S40N/V50 T5 220/230Hp 2004-2008 Stage 3 Stage 3: 278Hp / 441Nm

    Anybody else recommend a similar tuning box? Or are they considered the best?

    Thanks,

    Had one on my S60 and thought it was great. They are expensive though.

    Well, I'm still puzzled...

    RICA offer a package too:

    Original: 225 hp 320 nm
    Stage 1: 250 hp 380 nm
    Stage 2: 285 hp 420 nm
    Stage 3: 325 hp + 500 nm +

    The thing is BSR's is 8bhp more on Stage 1 - however I want to see a power-curve. It seems that BSR is more of a punch compared o RICA.

    Anybody have a RICA on a T5 V50? Any suggestions?

    Chad you said you supply the BSR? Whats the retail of Stage 1 with the air filter they supply on their website?
