Anyone ever used these guys?

They offer a Dyno before and after. They take out your ECU and actually give you a custom tune.

I'm not sure if a custom tune is better than map from other companies who have a premade map for the vehicle rather than a custom one.

That is what I'm looking to do to get the best out of what I got while being safe. With other mods being added there is a point you have to ask yourself 'how is this to others that the "premade" maps are made for?' From asking about a good premade map place would upload and run the car a few times on the rollers and tweak their map to 'fit' so to speak. But a nice fresh map would be good but also not looking to loose the eco (of which there isn't much compared to some VAGs) element of the 2.0D diesel engine.

Fit the S40?

I like the idea of the double exhausts. Saying that I have a detachable towbar on mine, wonder if that would be in the way?

Default Volvo s40 2.0D dpf removal

So iv decided to remove my DPF!!! and go with a strait pipe into a Focus RS rear section

my question is after removing the DPF iv noticed there dosent seem to be an inlet for the regeneration oil?
i was under the impression the oil gets sprayed into the dpf and ignited to burn the soot off! with that thought out the window, how dose the regen oil get in there?

also what are your thoughts on my modification?

If you have an obvious straight through pipe instead. If/when they change the mot test. You might be in a bit of bother.

Also remember you need to get a software alteration to cancel out DPF.
