Falling in love with my 98 V70 AWD again ... Thanks to IPD ECU V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be JT on  Fri May 31 11:50 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I just installed the new IPD ECU in my wagon and boy it's a great feeling! Around the 2000-3000 rpm, there is such a reserve & surge of power and as you get to the 4000-5000 rpm there is a noticeable difference. Of course you T5/R AWD owners have been used to this power but for me, having the LPT (190 HP)on an AWD, I've always felt it a bit heavy and sluggish. But now, I probably have at my pedal 220 HP available. Eventually when my exhaust need replacement, I will upgrade exhaust to 2.5 cat back, then I'll have the full complement up to 230 HP, I'm quite sure I'll fall in love with my wagon for a third time.

Haven't done any time trials but instinctively I can tell she is a different car. I also just received the Volvo Front strut bar and will install it soon. I'm going to have a fun weekend boyz.
