A Focus ST doesn't really suit my needs. I know there's alternatives, but I'm absolutely determined to get a speedy yet comfortable 5 cylinder Volvo estate, even if it costs more.
What's fundamentally different in the ST so that it can't be replicated in the V50 with the same engine? That's what I'm trying to find out.

They are specialists in the Focus ST and also Volvo T5 tuning. I will be taking my T5 C70 to them later this year for a mild MSD 260 tune. Do be careful as a lot of the remaps are not worth the money and can cause all sorts of issues. See their page on Safety before you do anything with your car.
They will also be able to advise you on all the extra bits you may need to do. Bear in mind that it can get expensive and only you can decide if the car is worth the money you could spend. |
Thanks for that, I'll check them out. Are there any other good Volvo tuners in the UK and Ireland to consider?
