Default What do i do next????

hey guys. s40 from TEXAS USA here. i have a 2000 s40 with the 12t turbo. i was thinking about swapping to the UK t4 14 t turbo.

so far i have an upsolute tune, running 12 psi. 3 inch downpipe to a 2.5 inch straight pipe.

can i bypass the tcv with a manual boost controller to get more response?

i had the eurosport intake but it killed my low end power.

also i heard you could swap in the NA cams????

what do i do next to make this car quick?

I was in texas last year
cant advise on what to do to make your car quicker.
but
I remember thinking petrol was affordable there and it being a great place for a car person.
didnt see many s40s though,.. hope you get some tips from here


in the meantime enjoy driving what I think might be quite a rare car over there :-)
