just wondering if there's anywhere that still chip's or re-map's (not sure which one it is) the volvo 850 T5 estate, as i've just brought one. i live in birmingham area and i'm prepared to travel a little, and how much should it cost? it is also LPG converted and how would this work with LPG if at all? any info at all would be much appriciated

I gather that LPG has a higher equivalent octane rating than ordinary pump petrol, and this should enable a higher boost. Didn't one of the BTCC Volvo racers run on LPG? I may be confusing it with another car though.

not too sure, but the police used to get theese T5's up to 300BHP+ and just wondered if it still could be done

Not sure if I remember right or not cause it was a few years back but a friend had one of these and he got a masive power hike by just changing intake, exhaust, leads and timing i dont see him to often but if i do i'll ask him what he did as his was running about 290bhp i loved these back in the day and still quite fond of them now nice motor
