You're looking at a 60hp jump as you step to the T5, and 250 should be more than enough in a crossover of this size. Be sure to less us know what you're impressions are after getting some time behind the wheel.
All tunes void the warranty for all manufactures (I have been down that road many times) unless it like polestar offered by the manufacturer. Manufacturer tunes are EPA and Carb certified. Most manufactures can detect if a tune was on the car and removed before service. This is usually not at the dealer level but the field techs can go deeper into the data especially when the cars info is downloaded to corporate. I have been playing the tune cat and mouse game for a long time now with piggybacks and flash tunes.
I don't know of any personally but a fast google search came up with this, but i'm ALMOST sure its a lower sway bar:Your comment on adding an upper front sway bar is interesting. Does anyone make them?
For routine stuff/issues they don't care until there is a big problem. On the Audi RS cars for example, the tune is detected during an oil change when they plug in for diagnostics and the car is immediately flagged. For GM, no drivetrain work can be done under warranty without a firmware scan screen shot of captured max parameters. You can bet if your Volvo needs a motor or trans they will look at the data.David, I personally have never had a problem under warranty, so have no personal experience, however, I've read on chat forums where both VW and Mercedes have honored warranty items because the tune was not involved with the problem. I have had both VW and Mercedes (both TDI's) and added tunes when they were still under warranty, but never experienced any problems. I've since sold the Mercedes (replaced with a Jaguar XE TDI) and the VW has 130,000 miles with no problems.
I wouldn't do a piggyback on this car without knowing the ECU safety protocols and how and where Volvo hides the tamper codes.So @David1 can you make any suggestions for a piggy back system?
Also I found this but i have no numbers on it as far as if its only a sound mod or there is actual HP gain as well?

A sway bar won't do much for the XC40. It needs to be lowered some with much better shocks and struts. The shock valving is way to soft.I don't know of any personally but a fast google search came up with this, but i'm ALMOST sure its a lower sway bar:

I am working on possibly getting a tune to test. Stay tuned.So @David1 can you make any suggestions for a piggy back system?
