Modding v70t5m Whats your advice?

How to go faster, stop quicker, and turn harder. Chips, exhaust, larger turbos, bigger/slotted/drilled rotors, high performance brake pads, manual boost controllers, performance shocks/struts/springs, airbox mods and more! Also discussion on HID and Xenon lights, aftermarket foglights and other exterior lighting.

Modding v70t5m Whats your advice?

Post by t5blackattack »

Alright, Re-gained my love for volvo's and Bought myself a 98' v70t5m. After my first s70 t5 i was addicted. Anyhow, I bought this car needing a tune up for 1k :). The car is at stage zero, just re-did all vacuum lines and pcv system. MY ideas were to do a 19t compressor housing and CHRA on the stock 16t hotside. Also, doing green injectors to equal out air/fuel. My questions are what supporting mods SHOULD be done? Anything that should be upgraded wastegate, actuater spring, what parts would you suggest? What tune will create the most power but not max out the motor? Thanks in advance, I look forward to your input.

As far as tune everyone everywhere seems to be recommending ARD. Their website has a page for each color (stage) tune they offer that gives a basic idea of mods you need at each level. I plan on using them and they have been very kind in returning emails regarding specific recommendations for their blue tune to somebody who hasn't even placed an order with them yet.
