Who sells the chip? Warranty be dammed!

Rolo,

I am waiting to hear from Scott Hart @ IPD (ipdusa.com) for availability. According to him, TME the company behind the chip development will have something anytime. It was supposed to be ready end of last year, but has slipped a bit.

Another new player is evolvecars.com. See the latest european car for their S60 tuner car special.

We are going to do the chip as we had a very good experience when we chipped our previous turbo car (A4 1.8t). Since this has two turbos, I'm hoping to see a significant improvement as well, hopefully something north of 300hp.

Also do a search for Heico on the net. These guys are very respected Volvo tuners (of there is such a thing). They do a chip and exhaust upgrade on the T6 XC90- the exhaust has dual out pipes like the 993 and looks great. They also have 19inch rims and suspension lowering/handling packages for the XC90 if you are that way inclined.
