do a turboback exhaust and intake first, then do the ECU.

a downpipe would help but not by itself.

3'' all the way.....

check out the volvo resource thread at the top of this pge....for tuning companies

Custom Intake,DP(on the way) and 3 inch exhaust should be done very soon....

OK so im looking thru all the ecu upgrades but what company's are considered better ?

Has anyone tried any of them and got some feed back ?

Yes...there are a few users using Imotion's some with Speedtuning, some have IPD and EVOLVE....most like the PPC's setups from VIVA and EST....
BSR is nice....

The cheaper ones (in the $400range) are chips, The more expensive ones (in the $800+ range) are flash tunes...ect.

That is hard to tell...

All cars are different.....People who have ecu tuning should step in and discuss
