Description
Upgrading the engine management software and
exhaust on your turbo Volvo is the most effective way
to improve output. You can expect to see realistic and
measurable gains from 33 to 53 HP depending on the
model. Since 1994 we have partnered exclusively with
MTE SWEDEN to bring you the world's most effective
and reliable upgrades. We work with engineers from
MTE to develop performance calibrations optimized for
the North American market that retain full factory
functionality, drivability and emission levels.
If you spend much time on popular Volvo performance
enthusiast forums, you might have noticed that we are
occasionally referred to as being too conservative in
our tuning since some Volvo tuners publish higher
horsepower specs than we do. Some of our

competitors do make a couple of more peak HP, but if
you do your homework, you will find that our upgrades
provide superior real world performance and the
reason is because we focus on developing the most
area under the power curve with smooth linear power
delivery.

Still not convinced?
Here's an unbiased excerpt from an article by Dave
Coleman that appeared in Sport Compact Car
magazine titled "Below The Curve":
"We, the collective of car geeks, tend to get entirely too
wrapped up in peak numbers, especially horsepower."
Then the debates start. "Peak torque is more
important than peak power." "Peak power is more
important than peak torque." The battle rages on and
more precious Internet bandwidth is wasted arguing
one misconception against another. The truth, as
usual, is that the engine with the most area under the
curve, either the horsepower or torque curve, is the
one that will be faster. Ah, ha! Now you see why the
area under the torque curve is the most important of
all."
It's our goal to provide you with software upgrades
that deliver maximum power levels as advertised as
well as being reliable without overstressing the car's
powertrain. It might be possible to squeeze a few more
ponies from certain models by running a bit more
boost, but careful research and development combined
with over two decades of experience in upgrading the
Volvo 5 and 6-cylinder Turbo models have made our
upgrades the most respected and successful in the
industry.

Stage Zero?
When upgrading, it seems logical that you would want
to make sure that the engine is in top tune, but this is
often overlooked in the quest for instant performance
gratification, which often results in poor performance
from your upgrades. The increased loads can cause
misfiring and other unpleasant issues. We ran across
the Stage "ZERO" idea on volvospeed.com and concur
100% that you should perform these steps before
making upgrades to the engine in your Volvo if it is
more than 5 years old or has more than 50,000 miles
on it.
Stage ZERO Tuning List:
e Spark plugs
e Air, fuel and oil filter service
© Trans fluid flush
e Inspect & replace vacuum lines and IC piping
rubber
e Upgrade to silicone hoses where possible
¢ Test / replace 02 sensors
© Verify proper fuel flow using a fuel pressure
tester and replace fuel pumps if needed
¢ Clean / replace injectors
¢ Clean intercooler / intercooler plumbing

No Chips! No Soldering!
We have been flash upgrading Volvo ECUs since 1994
and we are still the only company that can offer you
the security and reliability that flash upgrading
provides. Just like the factory, no soldering, no wire
cutting or piggy back connectors required. Even
though our upgrades sometimes cost more than our
competitors, the performance, quality service and
convenience we provide allows us to outsell our closest
competitor by 10 to1. You get what you pay for with ipd
ECU upgrades.
Below The Curve?
If you spend much time on popular Volvo performance
enthusiast forums, you might have noticed that we are
occasionally referred to as being too conservative in
our software tuning by people who simply compare
peak #’s as some Volvo tuners publish performance
specs showing more peak horsepower than we do.
However, if you do your homework you will find that
our upgrades provide superior real world performance
and the reason is because we focus on developing the
most area under the power curve and smooth linear

power delivery. The dyno charts on this page show that
even though one of our competitors does make more
peak HP, there is no comparison when it comes to area
under the curve. On high output models like the S60R
and V7OR our tuning methods develop over twice the
power increase as can be seen in the dyno graphs at
right.
Sending Your ECU To Us For
Upgrading
The ECU in these models is digitally serialized to the
car. This means that unless you instead opt for one of
our remote tunes, you will need to remove it from the
car and send it to us. The whole process can usually be
completed in 3 days. Your car cannot be driven without
the ECU. A special tool (part #T7) is required to remove
the ECU (see recommended products tab). For more
information on installation give us a call.

Additional Technical Information
Special notes for S60R and V70R
owners
We have a few options for R owners to consider.
Torque limiting on S60R and V70R Geartonic models.
(auto trans) 2004-05 S60R and V70R models with
Geartronic automatic transmissions are torque limited
to 250lbs/ft of torque in 1st and 2nd gear. This severely
reduces the standing start performance and results in
a 0-60 time that is almost two seconds slower than the
manual transmission version. Two seconds may not
sound like much, but at 60 mph it’s over eight car
lengths. Our standard ECU upgrade for these models
retains the torque limiting, so 0-60 performance is
essentially stock, as our upgrades to the software for
this model do not take effect until the car shifts into
3rd gear. At the urging of customers, we developed a
non-torque limited version that provides full power in
all gears. While testing the non restricted version, we
recorded a 5.4 0-60 time, which is an improvement of
hitps:ww.ipdusa.comiproducts!7756/Engine-ECU Flash Pertormance-Power-Upgrade-Tune-for Mottonic-7-Turbo-Models-1999-2008-forVolvoNTE 9/15,sans, 1228 PM Engine ECU Flash Perfomance Power Upgrade Tune for Moonie 7 Turbo Models 199.2008 fr Volvo - ME
1.3 seconds. Huge. What's the risk? Our Swedish
partners at MTE that developed the upgrade have
customers who have been aggressively running the
this version for over 24 months without any problems,
however, we don’t want to imply that it’s risk free.
Therefore we require that you sign and return a simple
waiver (indicating that you understand the potential
risks) before we will install this software. Understand
that a car manufacturer has to consider all the possible
uses and abuses its products may be subject to and
that is why there is torque limiting. It prevents
overheating of the drivetrain under extreme conditions
such as max GVW towing over mountain passes in the
heat of summer, etc.
Note on Automatic Transmission
Torque Limiting
Torque limited to 250 Ibs/ft in 1st & 2nd gear (2004-
2005 models only) in Stage I ECU upgrade for models
with automatic transmission. We offer a non-torque
limited version but, if you are an aggressive, lead-foot
type of driver, you should stick with Stage I to
maximize transmission life. Contact us for more details.

Power Graphs
The following table of data is a brief listing of the
performance and approximate gains you can expect
when upgrading to an ipd ECU and exhaust. Although
upgrading the exhaust is not required, it’s highly
recommended for best results and to prevent
overheating of the turbo when upgrading the engine
management system (ECU), especially if you are a hard
driver or you will subject your car to sustained high
loads such as when towing or track conditions. If you
choose not to install the sport exhaust, deduct 10 units
from the HP and torque specs shown below. The 0-60
times are based on tests performed on automatic
transmission models using a G-Tech performance
meter. A capable driver in a manual transmission car
could possibly improve these times by approximately
2/10ths of a second.
