If I buy T5 it won't be S40!!

The S60 T5 is a much better tuner... esp if you can get the later 2.4 version.

Turkish is selling his on VPC for 7 grand... immaculate car, and it's running 350bhp

(he's got some tasty mods on it)

if you're gonna get one... that would be a peach.

Get a T5... one day you'll pull up to someone in a T5... and wish you had one too...

get a K&N on your T5 and you can hear everything.

Sports exhaust with the middle box welded out... even better

Watching your Crail vid the rate of speed increase on the speedo is very impressive! Is it just the induction kit and exhaust mods? my car doesn't show such a rapid rise in speed

Actually, going back to what Fenton said - The exhaust system of a turbo'd car will give a much nicer sound than a normally aspirated engine imo. The turbo interrupts the exhaust note but in a nice muted/warbly way.

I usually find most NA engines with sports exhausts sound horrific and far too loud

Got Bell Intercooler, Sports Downpipe and Sports Cat, Stage 3 BSR so it's about as far as you can take it without a turbo upgrade and then it's serious ££££ for any more speed.

Don't get BSR - MTE is better for various reasons not worth going into! I'm gonna swap at some point.

It goes like a stabbed fruit-bat now compared to stock

Radical difference, even with just a remap esp in the midrange.
