Does anyone dynotune volvo 850s, or do you guys all just get a chip.

Would prefer to get a dynotune if at all possible.
Thanks!

search for "fred chips" in the forum, in the "for sale" section to be more specific.

Ive read everything about his chips.

Nothing can beat a good custom dynotune though.

Anyone?

aftermarket ECU might be your only option, unless can find a shop that can hack into your existing ECU, is that motronic? if so, you might find someone down in the LA that can do this for you, but I'm sure it would be trail and error, do a run, burn the chip and repeat, I don't think you can plug anything into the stock ECU and do anything real time like you could with an aftermarket ECU
