I just shipped my ECU off to IPD today for the IPD/TME upgrade. This is for an S70 GLT SE LPT. I'll post when it comes back and let you know how it is. I also ordered the exhaust, which is on backorder until next month. From what I've been able to learn, the LPT with the ECU is pretty nice due to the extra power in combination with the super low lag turbo. It should pretty much blow the doors of a stock T5 in 0-60 with its 275 lb-ft of torque. The 0-60 also shouldn't be too far off an upgraded T5 due to traction limitations. It should do 0-60 in 6.2 versus 5.84 for the T5 seconds according to the TME page. I don't plan on doing any timed runs or even launching the car in a way that would achieve such times, but will post my impressions here. Under a more gentle "rolling" launch the time should degrade by anywhere from 0.5-1.0 seconds.
