As mentioned in the same post - there is a good local company to me that are renowned for getting good results and have a good reputation.

Why do you want to do this anyway?.

Daim's answer is absolutely right. You never get something for nothing, and more power is only at the expense of more fuel.

Also if you have any problems with your car, then Volvo probably will wash their hands of it. The DPF a source of great discussion many times on the forum, will be regenerating more frequently, which in itself means more fuel being burnt. Immediately negates the economy aspect.


If you are trying for economy then change your driving style or get a more econimical car, the 1.6D for example.

If you want to go faster then get the D5,4 or 3.

And don't forget that if you modify your car for performance then insurance will be affected.


In my opinion, it's alot of expense for a lot of potential problems.
