C30 T5 performance

**MarkT5** · Wednesday 18th January 2012, 18:07

Hi, I have a C30 T5 and was wondering what is the best way to get performance out the T5. Which are the best places to get a remap or a chip. Might prefer a remap to keep it standard. Anyone know any good places?

It's already fast - get the suspension sorted first IMHO

good plan

**t5_monkey** · Wednesday 18th January 2012, 18:33

I've got pretty much all the sensible performance mods, and suspension mods... If I were to tune my car all over again, I'd do the chassis first.

I don't want to spend a lot. I'm having it put on LPG next week but was wondering about how to give it more power. So I can keep up with STI scoobys. Also how do you turn off the traction control. It doesn't have a button next to the gear stick so I'm not sure how to turn it off.

**t5_monkey** · Wednesday 18th January 2012, 18:54

its down near the gearstick AFAIK.. it is on mine anyway! you press and hold.

**MarkT5** · Wednesday 18th January 2012, 18:58

Yes it is on my brothers V50 but it's not there on my C30 so I'm abit confused to how to turn it off.

**T5frankie** · Wednesday 18th January 2012, 19:04

hlm will remap it with autotech i think at £300

**MarkT5** · Wednesday 18th January 2012, 19:45

Not bad then. Remap I think is what I'll do when I save some more money. I'll get it on LPG first, anyone know a place what have done T5 engines and haven't had problems?

If yours is the same as mine (and I think it will be) it's on the indicator stalk. Rotate the thumbwheel so that it show DSTC on the dash display then press and hole the reset button next to the thumbwheel. Do the same to turn it back on.

**MarkT5** · Wednesday 18th January 2012, 23:22

That sounds like it could be it. It has it on the dash and a reset button. Cheers pal

Happy to help :-)
Now start saving for a new pair of front tyres!

**t5_monkey** · Thursday 19th January 2012, 20:39

Ah it's not so bad mine last as much as 8000 miles sometimes!

I found it the traction control settings, just press the reset button and a whole new level of "OH S_ _ T" starts to happen fast. haha
