increased power suggestions? 99V70 XC

Post by roncop »

My 99 XC has about 120,000 miles but runs great. I installed dual exhaust, use synthetic oil and no engine problems, BUT...are there any low cost suggestions to increase the performance. I got spoiled driving my sons 98 V70R. I know I can't get the same output as his, but hopefully there is something midway.
Thanks, Roncop

An ECU by IPD or someone else makes the LPT engine come alive.
About 25-30 hp gain with a LOT of torque

Not quite a low cost suggestion... IPD wants upwards of $800 for a tune.

Inmotion is cheaper but a lesser known company, Speedtuning USA will cost around $350.
