Anyone know anything more? It doesn't seem too expensive, but would it make any discernible difference? Anyone with any experience of this?
My S80 D5 Se Lux has the Polestar upgrade and it does make a big difference, the acceleration is much improved almost awesome and overtaking is a breeze. However, there are down sides to this. I cannot get the mpg over 48-5O mpg whereas before it was 57-58 even driving like a Nun on Mogadon, and the engine is noisier than before, some may say sportier sounding, to me it’s just noise.

Fun at times, annoyingly noisy at others....
