It started life as a S70T5 and I suspect it was stolen and recovered as someone had fitted it with a 2.5NA engine/running gear from an earlier car...

I had an 855T5 I bought cheap so transplanted everything over to the S70 but had a couple of 4.4ECU's from other projects so have been messing round with mapping it myself just for fun

I have more plans for it as I suspect it will be a keeper and they are getting harder to find these days

I think he tends to have 5 or 6 ecus at a time and mentions on his youtube channel when he has some....

Import duties are a funny old thing! avoiding certain companies like USPS and fed ex are usually a good start and also writing broken car parts on the box can help
