my s60
My T5Hi,
Recently back to owning a volvo again, and the tuning bug is taking me over again.
Just a couple of questions and a bit of advice if anyone can help please.
first, i want to lower it a bit, but just on a set of springs, i had KW coilovers on my 855, but cant afford a set of them, so some good springs are on the shopping list, can anyone reccomend any???
Also, can a dump valve be fitted to the 2.0T?,
And has anyone had theirs re-mapped? and what are the gains, performance etc.
Thanks in advance.
Craig

Thanked 342 Times in 293 PostsRemap is a good way to increase the LPT power. Leave the dump valve alone unless you buy a Forge Split-R as your car will hate it otherwise and cause all sorts of problems. Maps on the sites selling them should give you an indication of expected power increases but take the offered levels with a pinch of salt.
