S40 t4 2001
Evening All,
are wanting to start to tune my Volvo s40 t4 2001. can anyone give any pointers on what to do first? I went to a remaping company today and they said that because the car has done 166K miles its too much but i know that Volvos are good for 200K+ as my dads 850 did. Anything is help. Thanks Adam |

You can shorten the actuator arm between the turbo and the wastegate which will give you more boost, however I absolutely wouldn't do this until you have a boost gauge fitted so you can see where things are, standard is 14 psi, mines running 18 psi with a stainless system and no cat, running 99 octane fuel always, it is most definitely not slow, it is however also broken, unrelated to the boost I think (piston rings) but it does pay to be careful, not something to be done lightly.

The P1 ECU works differently and the method mentioned above will give you more boost, again though, it's not a safe way to do things. Mappers for T4's are few and far between these days, might be someone left on T5D5 who can help but there's certainly nobody on these forums that can do it. Your only other option, if you're in it for the long run is a stand alone ECU but fitting that and getting someone reputable to map it for you is going to cost you big time.
