    Back on topic

    this is what I thought of my PPC

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFeGP81MD6k&feature=digest[/ame]

    Now with custom MTE Map at 1.7 bar and well happy with NO melted pistons.

    Have a ride with a few cars with different maps and not just the ones that spin up at 2000 rpm ''Chav maps'' and I'm sure ypu will make the right choice.

    thought the PPC was just the delivery mechanism?

    Sorry mate but I think I speak for everyone bar a select few when I say "Shut up!". Its a sensitive topic that has been brought up time and time again and does not need to be repeated.

    No offence meant to you in anyway.

    yes in the new year but when you look at it £600 remap or crap remap plus engine rebuild saves money in the long run

    £600 Bloody heck, So that is for a generic remap, not custom as we all know custom work when he is ever in the U.K is extra on top, and you get to keep the delivery device, all be it one that does have additional advantages.

    I could never bring myself to spend that amount on a generic remap, with no dyno time included and no technical tuning expert installing the map for you. I would be mad!

    Read below what a £600 minimum custom MTE remap can do. Google MTE's work and you will find just as many problems as there has been with RICA or HLM. Part of tuning i'm afraid.

    It seems the highest regarded Volvo software at the moment across the Swedish and US boards is the ATM tune, http://www.atechmotor.com/ but no doubt, they have probably 'ruined' a customers car too, that's tuning!

    It has been said before the Volvo tuning market is TINY, so anything that goes wrong seems to hang around like a bad smell. To the OP, try and do as much of your own research, try and go out in cars that have been modified by said tuners, speak directly to the tuning houses that offer services for Volvo's and not just the ones banded about here, there are more out there. Cost is a big issue too, if you are happy spending £600 on a 2k car then so be it, but I am sure you can get a similar quality generic remap for £250 or under.

    This is the reason I'll be going to Fasttech in Holland for my next custom map.
