Engine: T5: - Mods, where to start?

mattm · Nov 17th, 2009, 14:26

Hi Guys,

I've had my '52 S60 T5 SE auto for a few months now, and enjoying it. It's quite a different beast that my previous car. I want to start off with some small mods and work up towards the bigger ones. Which mods would you recommend to start off with?

Thanks
Matt

The IPD HD TCV has made quite a nice kick to my 2.0T SE (and covers all models) - to the point I got a £350 speeding bill due to overtaking "quicker than I thought".

Not too costly either (if you don't count the legal bill).

"Stage 1" ECU remap will clock around £600 (BSR, RICA etc etc) and is easy to do yourself (unless you want to get a custom map via a rolling road test).

Then you're into air boxes, springs, brakes, cat back exhausts etc...
