XC70 drives almost like a T5-VIDEO

Ive ordered a BSR stage 1 ecu tune for my 01 XC70 2.4l the claim is from 200hp to 252hp and 125nm of torque. This will be keeping the stock exhuast.
As always im skeptical of the figures, however if i can match the power of the later 2.5l xc70 i will be happy. This method is via the OBD2 port, i believe its called the "softloader" method.

Suprisingly not much feedback online for the early xc70's, if anyone has found any info please post.

Stage 1 ordering the loading PPC3 device.
ordered the BSR tune and BSR PPC3 device and i have 14days to return the PPC3 and get the refund, not sure if i will do this as it might be handy to have the original vehicles software.

I found this video can someone tell me if he is happy with the tune?

JUST installed the BSR tune stage 1 on my 2001 xc70 and the improvement is very nice. The xc70 growls like my T5 did. Im getting wheel spin in 1st and a chirp in 2nd gear. Im told that if i drive sensibly i could see an improvement in fuel economy, that might be hard but i will try.
