i think that im going to rent a softloader from ipd for only 100 dollars and do it myself, has anyone else done this yet? and just out of curiosity where is the engine diagnostic system located? thanks in advance

 

The OBD-II port should be underneath the coin holder in the center console.

I don't know of anyone who has rented a softloader from IPD and done it themselfs. Personally I didn't know you could do that.

 

I think they just recently started doing this. Less work and more money for them. You gotta love it.

 

yeah i just called ipd and u still have to pay 895 for the software, i knew it was too good to be true, im pretty sure im just going to go with speed tunings 15psi program, like s70driver says, its good for the money

 

You will more then likely run rich on the ST USA ecu upgrade. Most people do.

Also I would recommend the stronger 12PSI program over the 15PSI program. I have had both and I believe the 12PSI was better then the 15PSI. Plus 15PSI is at the very end of the tiny 13g turbo's effeciency range.

However ST USA's ecu upgrades are decent for the money. I mean you will get a kick in your pants no doubt about it.

*If I had saved my money I would have gone with either BSR PPC, IPD USA or RICA no doubt about it.

 

gas mileage losses, improvements? did any panel lights come on, with the 15psi, how much more power than the 12 program, my turbo has 100 000 miles just to throw that out there

 

*My gas mileage stayed the same or improved some. I get about 25 miles to the gallon.

*No dash lights came on in my case.

*Can't really answer that I didn't dyno with the 12PSI Vs. the 15PSI program. I feel the 12PSI was a stronger program than the 15PSI program.

*I suggest if you haven't already get silicone turbo hoses. Stylin Motors Inc. or SAMCO and also silicone vaccum lines which can also be bought from Stylin Motors Inc. T-bolt clamps might be a good idea too they are better then the standard hose clamps.

Thats Awesome milage with a AWD!!!
I thought mine was great at 25 or 26 in the area of around town.

I did notice when I put the upsolute chip in the R it was better than stock on the milage.[/quote]

Sorry about that TECH, I accidently clicked EDIT not QUOTE.

Anyways...

You know after 30MPH the AWD disengages and it is all FWD.

Also I get about 25MPG on Regular (87) gas and I bet I get more when I use Premium (91-93) gas.

 

I got almost 30 on a long trip to SC.
Yes I know about the AWD but around town it really burns the gas.

 

I may just be an idiot but i was told to always run 91 or 93 in the car all the time. Is that true with a turbo car, or am i wasting my 30cents per gallon on this?

 

Hey sorry dude I accidently edited your post instead of creating a new one.

FYI all Volvo's should run Premium gas. Including the non turboed models. However especially the turbo models. Again however you don't have to. You can run Regular and be perfectly fine. I have done in in my 1995 850 N/A and I have also done in my current 1999 s70 awd. No problems. I get better gas mileage from Premium gas and the car does run better.

With an ECU upgrade you should run Premium gas as that is what it is setup for. But running Regular wont harm anything.
