How come you are after an ECU? The stock Volvo unit is better than the vast majority of aftermarket stuff and is extremely tunable. Many of the folk on main land europe keep them even when they run huge power. I remember reading about a nutter running around 700hp and 10 injectors yet used the OEM box of tricks. Allowed really good cold running.

 

[hybriduno]

i know someone running 10 injectors lol
