I heard from someone that the D5 engine power will growth from 163 bhp
to 185 bhp in the next few weeks. I would like to have confirmation on
this information and additionnaly to know if this new power will be
available also on the S60 model, my friend said to me it will we
reserved to the XCV 90 ?

A tuning box, or Superchips or Powerbox or whatever on the D5 liberates
approximately 195bhp- this is the cheaper option- certainly in the UK.

Yes, but you will loose immediately all guarantees. When it comes to
problems VOLVO checks this very carefully. And, maybe only in germany: you
drive a car without insurance (because your car is out of specifications) A
legal tuning box or chip costs is 1500 euros in germany.... And, do not
forget: the gearbox can handle only some 400NM torque, and I`m not sure, how
much torque moment the rest of the engine can handle for a longer time.

In the UK, Superchips itself warrant the engine, transmission and
driveshafts for the duration you own the vehicle, even if the manurfacturer
(volvo in this case) wont.
