Anyone tried MTE Garage? Thanks.

MTE popular among Volvo car owners.
Anyway, do a price comparison before commit. For tuning project,there are tons of tuners out there. Good luck

Glad that there are so many drivers willing to share these information.
Tot of this brand coz of its toughness siaz...

I’m on Toyota though for now

Of cos u r entitled to disagree. But it’s a fact the gearbox parts have this lifespan. Even for torque converter auto, the gearbox last about 150k.

Perhaps u should have research into s60 more thoroughly before buying.

A Manual Gearbox will solve all of these. They can be pushed and revved you your heart's content.

Just buy a polestar. No need to spend on mod liao.

Alamak , just change the turbo and methanol kit, will get you to more than 350hp and 400 nm if the stock intercooler can discharged the extra heat.

Why a methanol kit is costing $1350?
Paying $3800 to get 10-15 HP power gain on exhaust ?
No injector size change on so much power gain ?

Standard servicing need not use specialized workshops. 30mins or less kind of job.
There are many workshops out there can do it. Cheers
