I have a V40 and I put on 18inchers an IPD exuast, springs, struts and also a heico body kit, What else is there to do besides a chip?? I got the styling done now I want power.

Definitely look into doing a downpipe and cat, this will free up your turbo a lot and allow it to spool much faster, not to mention give you around 15 more hp. I'd say next worry about a chip, i've heard that upsolute has cracked the ECU code and maybe PES which is great for the other cars.
The guy you'll want to talk to is Carlos, he knows all about these cars. Not too sure if anybody's done a turbo upgrade, but i'm sure it's possible.

Good luck dude, be a 1.8T Killa!!!

IPD *struts*? really? are these something that has just come out recently? because when i approached IPD about struts to match their springs for my S40, they said that they didn't have anything available yet, and i don't see them listed on their web site...

WRT your question, don't they have a strut tower brace to stiffen the front end up and keep those struts doing their job? and a thicker rear anti-swaybar to help keep things flatter in the corners? and even before that, some better brake pads and rotors should probably be in order to help carry that speed farther before you have to scrub it off,... maybe even some of those good German high-efficiency H7 bulbs that are available now (from places like Daniel Stern) so you can better see where you're headed?

cheers!

Sorry I wrote that wrong I meant a strut brace and sway bars. What sort of brakes are there cause the v40s brake suck I have only 26000 miles on my car and its my second time I need to get my brakes changed.
