my neighbour traded in his Scooby for a 911, within an hour they'd phoned him up saying the transfer box had scattered. We think someone on testdrive had tried a full throttle start (which i'd love to try on a strong enough car). My bro used to have a Legnum VR4 which i borrowed for a week, it did everything too well/easily & was just boring

full throttle starts and 4wd = wallet lightening experience

to be honest im loving the t5 mate its comfy which is hard for me to find in a car as im just over 6ft 8,i love the sound and power just wish it didnt have a leaky sunroof and gash whirring sound when revved

totally agree, i only had the VR4 for a week but was still glad to give it back & get into the T-5. 4WD tames everything too much for me, shame because i always liked the look of Skylines lol

Partsfor volvos. Google it it'll come up. Excellent for most things and quick delivery.

I've got a dump valve, induction kit, powerflow cat back and mbc. Not bothering with a re-map cos the mbc does enough. Very very aggresive even turned down. I usually run mine about 9psi for day to day driving and only turn it up if I want some tyre shredding fun

Loads of power, loads of noise!

**wutang247** · Saturday 16th July 2011, 21:18

i had a longlife 3inch full stainless with a 100cell racecat, flew through mot, sounds the business , just need remap as im hitting boostcut and my gauge peaks at 18psi as it hits what feels like a brickwall still very quick

**t5_monkey** · Saturday 16th July 2011, 21:29

if you inform your insurer... am I right in saying your car is STILL not legal with a decat even if you pass the MOT ?

i think its a vehicle spec & construction issue (VOSA) problem instead of a MOT one

Hi all

Great thread big shrek and v helpfull replys!! Just what i wanted to know really I have not long bought a Dark blue V70 R and i wana get it up nearer 300bhp not that its slow jus that crack pipe ya on about needs a toot from me :-)

i dont want it to loud or any dumpvalve noises but more power and slighty louder would be sweet, think i'l decat it, get a remap an mbc and gauge, poly bush and turn it up to 18 to 19 psi does that sound about right?? i'l get it rolling roaded before and after the work

Also there are £120 cips on ebay from germany whats the story with these are they a no go or what people???

Mucho appreciated

Johnny

**LiamT4** · Monday 25th July 2011, 23:24

I'd stay away from any of the no name chips and maps that come up cheap on ebay.
Stick with comapanies like rica, mte, hlm.

**johnny46** · Monday 25th July 2011, 23:29

cool will do!! im from nantwich cheshire which is the closest and better tuning company to go for and do i just ring them and ask for a re map ????

cheers mate but its all the other guys you need to thank.

as for 18-19psi from what ive gathered you will need a remap as the standard map wont go past 15 psi

im gonna turn mine up to 14 psi to see how i get on then consider a remap later this year
