I nearly spent a pile of dosh modding my 2.4t AWD...then I saw the light and got a v70R.
It depends on how much power you want and how much you are willing to pay...stage 0 and chip would seem a good way forward.
I thought I would miss AWD - but in all honesty I dont.
Good luck

You could always sell me the grill off it..I'm sure that would make it faster..well it'd make the grill faster because it'd be on the front of an R..
Sorry...

A remap will make the world of difference as the standard map is quite reserved.
As yours is a T reg it might be the later ME7 ecu and not the earlier M4.4 ecu (which will make the remap price different) but you'd need to check which type you have before looking for mods for the engine.

It was quicker than my R a few weeks back, think i solved the low boost and pants acceleration from some advice from another member on here, It goes as it should now, goes well for an auto anyway!
300bhp. . .quick, i would have thought!
I feel a drag meet coming onn !!!!!! unless you've had yours mapped ma boi you can try
Ben Watson
Challenge excepted. Give me time to get my awd sorted & you can race my r at Santa pod?
Frankie I'm not sure about the 300bhp but I'm aiming for 280ish & supposed to be picking up an awd system from Nottingham in a few weeks. I'll have a go on the quarter then I reckon.

How much is an organised drag at santa pod ? will have some spare awd transmission bits then the lsd and crown looked in good con when I had the cover off. old transfer box is already off for spares and new one on also have a awd gearbox in the shed for bits if anyone needs one to recon

lol at the broken awd systems, santa pod is a tenner to get in and 25 quid for unlimited runs
liam beat me
My AWD works fine
I've been looking into a bit more power, just got myself a 15g turbo which needs rebuilding, then i will be after a 2/12 inch Turbo back exhaust and then hopefully get a remap sorted i'll be happy with around 240bhp
