I recently purchased a Volvo v40 d4 and I have been thinking I’d like to upgrade it in the near future.
problem is I’m not a massive car guy and don’t know much about cars so what are the first things I should be looking at?

ive been thinking of getting:
  • custom remap
  • upgraded clutch
  • exhaust cutout valve?
  • brakes

I’m not sure if I’m looking at the correct areas to upgrade but I’m certainly wanting more power so a remap is a must. What parts would I need to upgrade if I were to remap?
also, id like to hear more noise from the car but don’t necessarily want to purchase a whole new exhaust system. Would a butterfly valve be a good idea with this car?
Any suggestions whatsoever would be great, apologies for how much of a rookie iam lol

thanks!

Hi. I have dtuk box on mine d4 and you can feel difference, also been interested valve exhaust, because sharing car with my half and need something quite with switch for me😂. I'm thinking about Tony Banks in Leeds, know they doing valve exhaust but will be helpful if someone have any experience with sound on diesel engine

I did few mods up to now, just to look better, what I like, change wheels for 18's st, dechroming, de badging, painted callipers blue, also paint black mirror covers and diffuser with tail pipes, light tint back lights, just lowered eibach springs. I now probably not someone taste but just trying to get my v40 like I like. Mechanically just add dtuk box for more power and torque. Running now approx 225 bhp
