Hey everyone! I am most likely getting an S40 T5 (my dads finally leaning away from the 2.4i), and I was wondering if it significantly changes performance, (acceleration, gas mileage) If anyone has it please let me know how you like it and your gas mileage thanks!

AWD, is there much of a difference in the t5's performance with the chip?

Oh really? I am most likely getting a FWD T5 anyway

Thanks.

AWD, is it worth the $680?

 

[FBplaya0085]

Wow really? thats good to here. I had no idea an s40 could keep up with a boxster S w/ only a chip. Does it tend to burn out with the stock tires? I wouldnt be suprised with all of the torque you get from Gold 91 and 93. Thanks for the reply, that is exactly what i needed to hear. No i want to buy the chip even more.

Well my dad has a dealer trying to find me a black T5 FWD 6spd w/ t-tec, sports package w/ 17" sagitta, audio package and bi-xenons. They say that the bi-xenon lights are the only problem because its a stand alone option and not many come like that. :-(

whateveryou do, make sure you get the bi-xenon. best option available imo

I am definitely going to get bi-xenon on it. Its just that the dude at the dealer said that they are hard to find or whatever.
