I have a 1998 v40 - what can I do to improve performance?

do K&N air filters make a difference?



does having it chipped improve the performance enough to justify cost?



any other suggestions? - sensible please gents :)


No not really, any air filter upgrade will provide a negligable change in performance of an otherwise stock engine. Is this car a turbo?

Cheers for the reply James, no, standard 16v 2l

You *might* get some improvement then, depending on the efficiency of the stock filter. Volvos have historically had massive filters that can flow a lot of air, I've never seen under the hood of a V40 though.
