Custom map. Modified 16T. 1.4 bar boost Green injectors. Performance air filter. 3"DP and race cat. 305mm brakes. Lowering springs, shocks, and decent tyres. All make a very quick Volvo much quicker! Pulling way over 300 bhp crank but less than 350 (as if that's of any relavence) Depending on who's dyno, with who's fan, in what weather, on what day with what operator.

as ive only had a rica 304 fitted i can only compaire mine from a std set up and have to say its crazy compaired to the std ecu,plus runing decated ,homemade intercooler/oilcooler,and a std turbo for quicker spool up which holds nicely at 1.2bar,sat in a bug makes it mental lol so has to be rica all the way for me ,evern thow its a bit overpowerd for the car but rwd makes it more fun then a fwd lol
Forgive me If I have expanded this discussion too much from the initial poll, however I am very keen to see the results of this one as I am about to upgrade my ECU very shortly. Please correct me if I am wrong but I think the RICA is a new chip to the board, whereas the others appear to be remaps or PPC's ? is this correct ?. If you fit a RICA chip can you remove this or re-map this later on ? I have a 98R AWD Manual, with 164K on it so interested to see how the decision process for 2WD would rate against the AWD in terms of choice. Also how do you decide on which map / Chip based on where the power band adjustments are and what you want to achieve etc I think you have to remove the ECU itself and can't use the OBD11 port for a re-map on a 98 ? Would appreciate anyones initial thoughts on these points
I think that he's just playing it safe, to avoid any possible problems (the likes of which have plagued this and other fora for a while now). You know, here's my personal take on it. Find someone (or a firm) you trust. Buy your ECU remap from them. Job done. They're all pretty good anyway!
