Engine will need a "block mod" (tonnes of info about this) to prevent cracked liner/sleeves at higher bhp outputs.

The question is what power figure determines getting the block mod done? Liners can apparently crack on stock engines if you are unlucky, though the general word on the street is anything over 300bhp you should get the block mod done.

Intercooler + downpipe + remap on this engine appears to give around 285-300bhp depending on who you speak to.

Here is a 300bhp V70 MK3 2.5T - skip to 4:46 to see acceleration comparison.

Looking at their timings, the state of tune makes an enormous difference to the 0-200kmh time!
