Help me figure out what I have
I found a list from the, maybe, first owner of my car from 2001 that states that he added various things some of which I can confirm and some I need help identifying so if anyone can help I would appreciated it.
1) IPD ECU for $785.00 -any idea how to tell?
2) IPD sport exhaust $635.00 - Yes I have that
3) IPD front and rear sway bars $240.00- What is the stock thickness
4) K&N air filter $45 -Not any more
5) H&R sport springs $100.00 -How can I tell
6) Bilstein struts & shocks $400.00- I think I still have these
7) Window tint - $200.00 -yes
8) Volvo CD changer $210.00 -yes but I took it out and replaced the radio

The ECU has a number 8.4 on it that I think tells what it is. I saw an ebay add that said that was for a T5
I'm thinking that maybe the springs might have lowered the car so I am trying to find out what the stock ride height is.

They reprogram your ECM. I'm not sure if they add a chip to do it. You need to send them your ECM and they do the programming and send it back.
Cheaper to go with Lucky at ARD and I think from what I've read it's a little more tailored to a specific application. He even asks if you do or don't have a snaab intake on the turbo, makes a difference.

Remember I'm talking about things bought in 2001. I ordered new plugs, rotor and cap and after I put them in I'll try some runs to see what pressures I get. It sounded like the guy bought a new ECU not sending the old one in to be reprogrammed.

From IPD's web site it looks like they used to be able to send you the IPD reprogrammed one with a $1,000 deposit so it was a simple pull the stock ECM and plug in the IPD ECM and you had no down time. It now states they don't stock any ECMs any longer and you need to send one in.
But, that still doesn't help you ID if you have the IPD unit in there now.
