This 2000 Volvo T5 with a 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine was tested on a dynamometer to establish its actual output. The initial measurement was about 202 hp and 270–277 Nm. The video gives slightly different figures for the original torque reading.

Diagnostics and data logging were carried out before the software changes. The car then received a Stage 1 calibration and another set of logs was recorded. The next dynamometer run showed 241 hp and 307 Nm. Compared with the initial measurement, that is an increase of about 39 hp and 30–37 Nm.

The result shown applies to the car in its condition at the time of testing. The workshop also recommended addressing mechanical issues with the engine, which the owner planned to repair later. The post-Stage 1 measurement therefore does not represent the car after a complete engine repair.
