Yeah I bought it today it's an interesting mag, there previous buyers guides convinced me to buy an xjr and then an s4 but I still end up back in a Volvo. Ashoks is an impressive car and story of long term ownership and quest for power achieved can't imagine what it's like to drive to 9500 rpm not sure I would want a motorbike experience lol

Is it a turbo back exhaust?
I found that the FMIC upgrade felt pretty significant from a stock car on a remap.
Got the turbo back downpipe later, found that although the midrange wasn't much fatter that the top end 'zing' between 5 to 6.5k was much improved.
an essential is changing the BOV to a forge item with the yellow spring - you'll hold 2psi more in the mid range (stock one leaks above 15psi) so you'll really notice the difference.
Same goes for the vibratechnics gearbox mount (or alternatively try the Focus RS one if you don't like engine vibration.) small thing but really cuts the wheel spin and improves the handling.

Slightly in places and a lot of that down to me. Im certain only 2 Volvos overtook me judge ninja who is a true vetron of Volvo track days and wobbly who's car is well set up for the job. I was suffering brake fade and heat soak which my ic will sort. I had an 850r which had updated suspension and while it was good in terms of handling try playing a cd without it jumping plus Im sure it wouldn't have been anywhere near as quick on the track.
