280 with those 4 mods

Ya I'd rather not get into heavy modification so more realistically im shooting for about 280 at the crank with MBC and eventually ECU, exhaust, and intake.

Hey thanks for the help. I plan to do exactly what you say and can't wait until I have the money for the ECU. I hope to be one of the few S40 owners with around 300 hp. WOOHOO!

Ok awesome thanks for the reply. I'm looking at a Hallman one that you can control for inside the car and am also getting a boost gauge and air/fuel gauge. You think its possible the extra boost will mess with todays fancy ECU?

I have an '05 S40 T5 and want to put a boost controller in because of the hp/dollar ratio. Is this a good idea? Are they safe? How much boost can i run through my stock ECU?

I have 100 miles in my '05 s40 t5 and love it. It is such a better value than BMW, Audi or MB. And the T5 is faster than any of them probably. its solid and fun to drive. By far best bang for the buck in its class and I did my research before buying it

I have a 6sp s40 and yes the pedals are close but its not that hard to find a comfortable position. But this car hauls and its awesome so who really cares!? Im sure y'all agree with me

Same thing happened to me but my dealership said it was a problem with the computer and they have to reprogram it. They turned the light off and it hasn't come back on for a week or so and I haven't gotten it reprogrammed yet but will soon

Im just looking for some basic mods like air intake system or exaust but cant find any on the net yet. Any suggestions?
