Need some advices on Volvo 850 T5

[kioskaskdn]

Hello everybody, i'm new in here. Have been browsing though forums for a while and joined recently. Here is the thing i want to ask you all: i have a Volvo 850 T5, got it as a b-day present a year ago (long story ). Now i want to increase bhp amount with as less expenses as possible, i've done some customisations like dump valve, high flow air filter and mbc (quite low budget i have ). Can anybody advice me what to do next like where should i start and what to do first,because i don't have a lot of knowledge in performance mods. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome buddy. How much are you looking at spending mate?

not to much on one go, thanks for welcome i'm using this car in every day driving so i can't go something big or something what couldn't be done in max two days. i think i could go 200quit on one go, maybe 300

Hiya mate,
a remap on your T5 will give 35bhp and approx 70nm more torque..
it's a ecu out remap on these, still a good gain on an old motor..

I'd say you want to be looking at upgrading the exhaust system as the next step. I'd recommend a full exhaust including manifold and either a sports cat or a de-cat pipe.

That's not what I'd call a budget upgrade, Manifold alone can be into 4 figures.
Mine is going on the rollers on th 28th, I'll report back then with some sugestions.
Nitrous might be the best option.
