To answer the OP's question, yes I think so. If Volvo are willing to warranty it, it must be good. Some bedroom tuners get there results from over fuelling on WOT (Wide Open Throttle) and leaning out the mixture on part throttle to improve economy. Neither of these will do your car any good. Secondly how many of these bedroom tuners actually write their own maps? None! All they do is tweak the parameters already set down by Volvo. I can guarantee it takes Volvo more than one guy taking a couple of hours to write the software for their own engines. Is there any thought how changing one parameter effects others? What that effect has on engine durability? Have they sourced an engine and run it on a test bed for hundreds of hours to confirm reliability?
