IPD/Chris Hart was very helpful. I had installed the ECU, exhaust, and stainless steel brake lines on a 2000 V70 R AWD wagon (already had the K&N air filter). FWIW - the car has been transformed. Very powerful, rapid acceleration (significantly reduced turbo-lag) and a lot more fun. The car rockets away at much lower RPM's - even my wife noticed the change.

Also, the stainless steel brake significantly improved braking response (less pedal travel - more controlled stopping).

The car is fun to drive.

Yes, the gas mileage has dropped; about 1 - 1.5 mpg. Still work it.

BTW: I previously installed the IPD swaybars & F/strut brace - very noticeable improvement.

The entire upgrade/enhancement is NOT inexpensive, but if you like your vehicle and plan to keep it for the long-term, I recommend it.

Hey fdelmonte, wow... you make it hard to keep the 10th commandment, 'Thou Shall Not Covet Your Neighbour's Volvo'!

Your car was no slouch from the factory, a whopping 267hp I believe, and you chipped it and did the exhaust as well as sways ... very very nice. Do you have any pics of your car with upgraded exhaust? Did you opt for the twin outlet one? Please post some if you have any.

Hi, Were the SS brake lines you say the SS braided hoses? or both lines and hoses? D~
