Good morning Carpy,

You can get 300bhp at the crank with the right software together with turbo changes and a full exhaust system. Adding an ally. intercooler will help a great deal with sustained heavy use as will water injection, head work etc.

From memory your car has as standard a 16T, the 18T falls very little short of the 19T and may help on the cost of changing downpipes. Turbo Technics Hybrid Garrett for these cars is also worthy of consideration. Some on this forum have good results with that TT unit and MTE software (t4,s and t5's).

The 16T, albeit with angled flange, on my S60 T5 racecar sustains 325bhp or thereabouts in 2,3 and 4 hour races, but with a lot of specialist work and just some specialist parts, but is for that application at or near its limit, but the exhaust gas temp. gauge on the car shows readings well within limits......so, with good mapping your 16T, if in good nick, will get you a fair way.

Regards, Don.Norchi.
