Same for me, I had a V70 and big boot was useful for going dogging or whatever but liked the saloon shape too much

Plus the S is a little lighter for getting that quarter mile time down

Yeah I read all that. Mines an auto so I pay no attention to dynos. Anway your car, your project, who gives a $$$$. When it gets u a good time on the track that will silence the Doubters.

Oh wait, you have a good time already 13.9 secs....there you go. Better than your cars original quarter time which is really the only benchmark to care about.

So many times I have seen people flamed on these forums cos someone else thinks they know better. Shame really it should be about sharing what you know and enjoy plus learning stuff at the same time. I'm quite happy to admit I know $$$$ all about loads of things. Things I do know about I will pass them on if I can.

Sounds great as well by the way, that turbo moves some air!
