If you have your D5 engine "Optimised" does it come with the "Over Boost" or is this something new? I copied the text below from the Volvo Polestar site.
D5 Over Boost The Polestar Optimisation software for the D5 (68) engine offers an exciting enhancement. Polestar have introduced an “Over boost” function that provides an additional +20nm Torque and +15hp power for up to 20 seconds once the peak power of the engine has been reached. This additional power and torque is over and above the already increased output figures that the Optimisation provides so you get an impressive boost when you need it most. The standard D5 (68) engine produces 235hp and 480nm torque. When this engine is Optimised and is in Over boost mode, the figures are increased to 255hp and 520nm torque.

Very interesting.
Would this apply to the late 2015 V70 D5? Edit just seen it’s the 2.0 engine Last edited by scott8629; Jul 18th, 2021 at 20:28. |

Just to put this into perspective. I do not believe that the Polestar optimisation on my 2012 XC70 D5 has the overboost feature and to be honest I don't know that it really needs more that the basic enhancement that the Polestar rewrite gives. The acceleration is markedly better and I'm not sure what I'd do with more than what it now has!
