Have you done any research at all? Have you check the resources thread posted all throughout the forum?

I know your new but you need to do some searching.

- RICA
- IPD USA
- EVOLVE, but they are called something else now.

Try these companies.

Your looking for a performance tune, not a "chip". And they are all $$$. Like S70Driver said, time to do some of your own research. But here is some info to get you going...

Evolve, is now called Elevate. They are now using AutoTech as there tuning partner, which is a really solid tune and great company. Can't say the same about Elevate though....

iPd's tuning partner is MTE. You have some of the best people in the biz working at iPd and MTE! Also, they are known for there top notch custome service

ViVA and EST both use RiCA for there tunes. George at ViVA is a great guy and has just as great customer service. And same goes to Frank at EST

If you want an ULTIMATE tune, I'd suggest finding someone who can dyno tune your ride for you.

Or find a standalone system that works for your car. Yes some people do have standalone systems in their Volvo's. Few and far between, but some do.

Before you get a tune go for a Hi-flow intake and a exhaust .EST,IPD,Viva or OBX offer them for your car i believe .This will help and when or if you decided to get the tune the results are well worth the $800-$900 cost.I have a 03 S60 AWD 2.5T and the EST intake and Catback Exhaust + 20hp held me over with the added performance and the lighting fast speed i get off the line and on the Highway.I am going to order the tune from IPD,The RICA tunes are great but IPD uses a laptop witch gives more real time info.
