Just bought a 2006 S40 T5

I finally got the car I wanted. A 2006 Volvo S40 T5. The car has the premium package only and I'd like to fix it up a little. Just wondering if you all were in my shoes, what would you do to it?

I would get aECU upgradefrom IPD, BSR, EST, or VIVA Preformance.
The tune should give you ~50+ HP/TQ, but will set you back $400-$1000.

I'd start with wheels and tires before modding the ECU. Going to 17-inch wheel/tire combo makes a world of difference. Then you'll want to upgrade the ECU, of course.
