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.
