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...

had 850r and t5 and missed them badly but there all far to much money now as for the grill dont like these anyhow cheers

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.

Hahah with your tiny 16t ..... are you sure?

**1112lewis** · Thursday 27th June 2013, 16:52

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!

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.

**thewatsonsmouts** · Friday 28th June 2013, 18:02

Again mines going back into awd in the next couple of weeks got a new diff and trans just have get old spline linkage out of the old box, they should slide out souldnt they ? 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

**LiamT4** · Friday 28th June 2013, 18:11

£10 admission and £25 to race.

**T5frankie** · Friday 28th June 2013, 18:12

liam beat me

Thats why, as much as i love them, i couldn't get a lazer v70r. AWD doesn't seem to be very strong on volvos.

**Dan H** · Saturday 29th June 2013, 01:25

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
