What sort of power are you looking for? you might want to get the block shimmed before you start chucking more ponies through it...

when i 1st got the Volvo, i called up polestar via the main dealer and they quoted about £800 for a remap, taking it to 250hp.... personally i thought that was a little steep
There's a silver WRX on the chalwyn industrial estate where I work. He's had a go a few times and been dispatched pretty quickly. 2nd gear is pretty savage now lol. It'll outrun a golf R32 too
Polestar is the only map you can use without invalidating your warranty (so they say but other maps are pretty much untraceable) they think they've got you over a barrel on the tuning side of things.

Remap I would expect around 265 bhp but the biggest increase will be the torque expect around another 80-100 nm :-)

Welcome to the nut house.
I knew david @ k-tech when he worked at gt tuning in my 5 turbo days. top bloke.
have you considered a remap you can put in yourself, such as the BSR ppc unit and I think there is a rica unit as well?
could save you many miles if there is nobody in the near area.
our boss has the bsr ppc stage 1 on his 2008 c70 T5 and it goes very well. this is £499 inc vat
