Hi Guys,
I have a 2000 (newer shape) V70 T5 with a RICA PPC, just wondering whats the next step in tuning. Looking for mid-band acceleration more than anything.

Any other mods? If not then a nice big downpipe with a race cat (or no cat) and a 2.5" tailpipe should free up the midrange as a first step. Not sure if it's safe to do that with a RICA PPC so I'd check with them first.

Cheers,
John

Sort the suspension before more power, else you'll just spend a lot of time with the wheels spinning whilst you go nowhere fast
