Afternoon chaps!
I've just bought my second car, a 2005 (55) Volvo V50 T5 AWD. I was originally looking for Saab 9-5 Aeros, but this popped up and I had to have it! No pictures yet, as it's staying in the dude I bought it off's garage for a few weeks while I return my current steed (Peugeot 306) to standard for my girlfriend to learn in.
So yeah, can't wait to get it on the road, already looking at a few modifications (rear ARB, remap, lowering springs), but am going to try and hold off for at least a year for insurance purposes :P
Cheers 'en,
Kez

Very rare interesting car I have the fwd version that is now putting out some considerable extra power often thought it would be good with awd :-) welcome to the forum

With one of the Swedish written stages of tune I offer from MTE you can get anything from 260bhp and 420nm of torque without any physical modifications through to 280 to 300bhp or thereabouts with a full replacement exhaust system and larger intercooler. After that the turbo needs to be reworked... then you are into the bigger KKK turbo and larger injectors from the Focus RS for 360bhp or so.
I have run a virtually identical Focus ST through all these stages over several years so can give you some advice and maybe sell you something along the way....
Don.
PS good choice too.

Welcome to the forum, Volvo power, and Ford handling, the best of both worlds. :D

custom exhaust, intercooler and remap and that will be a nice powerful estate. may look for one of these if I ever get rid of the S60
