The new MOT emissions test will be to the same standard as the German one, so the figures have to be very similar to OEM. What happened last year does not matter, unless the MOT chap looks the other way when it's booted (Not easy as it's an auto recorder and you have to do the whole test on one page) Most classic Volvo cars are over 10 years old with worn petrol blocks, so fitting a tuning box and passing emissions will be interesting. The last VW I saw trying to pass it, got failed after sign in for 2 different readings. I have no idea how you can increase power without increasing CHT or ICP, that means an Expo curve increase in blowby AND engine wear rates, the CHT boost is also one of the fastest ways to a blown HG, even if it is only short term. Buying a real sports car does work for sure, as 160 or 170 hp is less than a V40 T4!

My Italian box didn't turn up, seller gave a full refund without question, which is nice. Hopefully it'll arrive eventually and I'll get it for free.
If it doesn't, did someone have one to sell in the end?

OK, perhaps not "without question", they did offer me a "remote control chiptune" box instead of a full refund ("the remote control is worth GBP60") but I politely declined their offer.
I was quite tempted though, presumably I could retune my car on the fly!

Phil youres should be the 115 bhp turbo,it's a year older than mine and I have the 115 bhp,and remapping a diesel for power makes no difference really,it would on a petrol my business partner had his diesel vw t5 van done and it was just slightly more lively that's all or it felt slightly more lively,I find the s40 very good in the mid range 3rd gear upwards and they pull like trains.

Third gear is Volvo speciality. Designed for safe overtaking. The V70 was advertised as faster than a Porsche from 40-70mph iirc... Presumably it was the T5....

You learn something new everyday it really pulls hard in 3rd upwards 1st is not disaterous ,and in 2ncd it will really pull up a hill, I didn't know it was a specific design feature bold mosher ,a lad I know has a ex police t5 and its brutal very quick for what doesn't look alot .thats what I like about volvo's there very understated.

What's the difference between the Italian and German box? Presumably one might meet TUV standards so I won't get Skyship warning me about it?
