Hey Brian - welcome to the forum - I live in Scotland also, Glasgow - which part of Scotland are you in?

I'm not the expert on those but I believe you can get your ECU unit sent away for those cars to be reprogrammed - one of the S70 experts will no doubt be along shortly to give you all the info you need.

Hi Brian, welcome to the forum.........

i dont think your pm's will work till you have posted acertain number of posts.

What sort of power are you looking to gain?? Are you looking to do some engine/exhaust mods etc???

looking to fit panel filter and do a cat back exhaust will be happy enough with that for now

cool.

before getting the remaped, i would suggest you make sure the car is proper worrking order, give it a stage 0, check your pipework for any boost leaks etc.

then start modding...........

Hi Brian,

We've tuned more of these cars than anyone else in the UK. I almost certainly have an exchange ecu for your car and at £150 for the remap on the older T5's it's a bargain. I wil second Chad's coments make sure the engine is in good running order to get the best out of any remap.

Regards,
Hamish.

just fitted the new mapped ecu from htm and theres a big difference in power very noticeable its boost very quickly and hold alot longer than standard not been on the motorway yet but loving the power around the back roads the now its alot smoother
