    Not a great deal (not in comparison with the HPT on the T5s). The compression ratio in the LPT is different to that of the T5 engine, however having said this and sat in an new shape V70 LPT not very long ago - I was very pleased nay surprised on how much pickup you have low down. It is there from the very instant you push the pedal!

    Talk to Adam & Hamish at VT - they will be able to adivse you - the best way forward without going to a T5 really is a ECU remap. I don't remember exactly but I think the RICA remap takes your car to over 225bhp

    and Enjoy the ride!
