I'm really looking at getting a bit more power from my S60 T5 and my initial thoughts were remapping the ECU. Should I do any other modifications prior to this mod? I have already changed the filter to a a ITG panel filter.

Hi Luke, what year is the T5 and what gearbox has it got? What other modifications are you thinking of? GRN offer quite a selection of remaps and modifications depending on your requirements. Thanks Chad

its a 2003 2.3 T5 with a manual gearbox. I was thinking changing the exhaust but im not too sure what else to do.

exhaust and 3" down pipe will make a good difference combined with a remap. that shouls get you around the 280 mark

All depends what sort of gains/power you want from it?? I would say start with a map, they do become quite 'lively' with a map. then if you want abit more grunt and ooomph, go for a 3"dp, and 2.5" cat back, a decent air intake, maybe a larger front mount intercooler and a custom map to suit. Where are you based??
