Hey all,
I FINALLY nailed down a kit located in California from Alex, aka: Yangotang. Its the whole shabang and I just have to either reflash the stock auto ECU or source a manual one. Any advice on how to do this? Its going into my 98 V70 T5 that just rolled over 200K last week.

Anyone down to help me out? I have a two car garage in Sultan and will supply all food, beverages and depending on the quantity requested; cash.

Thanks for looking, I'd love to be sporting a 5 sp at the "Toys for Tots" event in December, but thats probably not possible in 4 days after getting the unit.

Edit: I can drive the car to wherever I need for the work. It does not HAVE to be done in Sultan. I realize the drive and whatnot is a PITA.

I can reflash the ECU for a small fee. Unfortunately my employer bans me from working on cars outside the shop that don't belong to me.

Sounds good. Can the unit still be modded by ipd for tunes? Gotta get my hands on the removal tools.

Yes, it will be a factory 608 tune. No removal tool needed if it's a 98. And if it's anything other than a 98, I can't help you :(

Sweet, thanks. I'll be hitting you up in the near future.

Edit: Back in town with the M56H. pedals and shifter in the back of the car. (Thanks Alex) I am just getting the last few parts together and it will be on like... (that one game with the monkey-ish dude throwing barrels at the other dude in the suspenders trying to rescue the princess.)

good times.
