Penta Performance specializes in tuning Volvo 5-cylinder engines. We develop our tunes in-house and we DO NOT hire 3rd-party companies to write our tuning maps for us. This enables us to tailor the maps based on your vehicle; tweak the maps as needed and provide you with further customization than most other tuners could not offer. We develop both flash tunes, as well as bespoke tunes suited for wide variety of setup. We pride ourselves for what we do that we are offering a 60-Day Money Back Guarantee on our flash tunes. If you’re not happy with the tunes within this time-frame, let us know and we’ll refund you in full. Easy…
Penta Concept Performance Tunes
NOTE: All tunes for the XR5/ST225 require you to purchase our PCPTuner handsets. You can buy the handsets separately here or packaged with our Stage 1 tune.
STAGE 1
(Flash Tuned) Our stage 1 tune optimises your stock vehicle and maximises its performance in stock form. The factory tune has been tuned down to accommodate for lower octane fuel. We change that by optimising it for RON98 to give you that much added boost. The following attributes have been optimized:
Improved throttle response
Optimized Boost and Torque Curve
Increase in Peak Boost
Factory Speed Limiter removed
RPM Limiter increased
Approx. power gains (255hp/190kw)
Requirements
Stage 0
RON98 FUEL ONLY
STAGE 2
(ROAD TUNED) Our stage 2 tune is meant for vehicles that have uprated downpipes and a larger intercooler. It enables the K04 turbo to boost freely and provide you much better performance. Additional options can be added. This is road-tuned to your own vehicle so data logging may be required.
Improved throttle response
Optimized Boost and Torque Curve
Increase in Peak Boost
Factory Speed Limiter removed
RPM Limiter increased
Higher Boost limit
Optimised Spark ignition maps
O2 Sensor CEL delete to enable you to use a high-flow catalytic or catalytic delete for track days without the check engine light.
Approx. gains (270hp / 200kw)
Requirements
3″ Downpipe with sports catalytic (Larger catback recommended)
Stage 2 Intercooler
Stage 0
Cold Air Intake or High-flow Air Filter
RON98 FUEL ONLY
FORSCAN & HS/LS CAN Logger Cable (for logging)
STAGE 3
(ROAD TUNED) Our stage 3 tune is made for vehicles wanting to get everything out of the K04. RS Injectors are required to provide the fuel needed for the power. Match this with our wastegate mod and water methanol injection or E85 and you have yourself a weapon. This is road-tuned to your own vehicle so data logging may be required.
Stage 3 allows for certain additional modifications
Improved throttle response
Optimised Boost and Torque Curve
Optimised Spark ignition maps
Increase in Peak Boost
Factory Speed Limiter removed
RPM Limiter increased
Higher Boost limit
O2 Sensor CEL delete to enable you to use a high-flow catalytic or catalytic delete for track days without the check engine light.
Approx. gains (310+hp / 230+kw)
Requirements
3″ Downpipe with sports catalytic (Larger catback recommended)
Stage 3 Intercooler
Stage 0
RS Injector
RS Oil Cooler
Cold Air Intake or High-flow Air Filter
Block Mod (Recommended)
RON98 FUEL ONLY
STAGE 4 / CUSTOM
(ROAD TUNED) Our stage 4 tune are for vehicles wanting more power than what the K04 can offer. This tune utilizes the K16 turbo found on the Focus RS. These are custom tunes, written specifically for your vehicle. Multiple revisions are needed to get this dialled in and will require plenty of data logging. We offer this in 2 options: 1) “Dyno tune”. Drop off the vehicle. Tuning takes about 4-6 hours. 2) “Assisted datalogging”. We send you a file then you have to log parameters for us using Forscan. We then revise the tune then repeat the process. You need access to a private strip of road where you can drive up to 170kph. The second option is more suited to people who have experience with datalogging. Have a different turbo in mind? Get in touch with us. This is road-tuned to your own vehicle so data logging may be required.
Requirements
3″ Downpipe with sports catalytic (Larger catback recommended)
Stage 3 Intercooler
K16 Turbo
RON98
RS Oil Cooler
Cold Air Intake or High-flow Air Filter
Block Mod
Uprated Fuel Pump
750cc Injectors
OPTIONS
Wastegate Mod We will remap your wastegate control maps so you may utilise an aftermarket wastegate with uprated spring like a Turbosmart 7psi wastegate. This mod allows you to hold more boost at higher RPMs.
Burble/Crackle We offer 3 versions of Fuel overrun Crackle: Version 1: Burbles. This give you a gurgling exhaust note when you lift the throttle. Very discrete and will work with the stock catalytic. Version 2: Lift-off Pop. This gives off one or two pops when you lift off the throttle during driving. Needs decat. Version 3: AK47. Self-explanatory. Needs decat
Water Methanol Injection Water Methanol Injection is a fast and easy way to add extra HP during boost. Methanol increases the octane rating of the fuel, allowing us to add more timing safely. The water cools the combustion chamber lowering your EGT. We will tune your vehicle to take advantage of the cooling properties of water-methanol. Expected gains are around 10-25kw on top, depending on your setup. Ethanol Tunes Get more power with our Ethanol Tunes. We will recalibrate your fueling maps, adjust warm-up maps and increase timing to give you that extra HP that E85 is famous for. You need to upgrade fuel injectors and fuel pump for E45 and E85 but can get away with just an injector swap for the E30. This is not a flex fuel tune as the ME9 ECU does not possess that ability.
RE-TUNING Did you purchase a handset from a third party OR added some new parts and you would like us to tweak your tune? We can help with that. Send us an email/message first so we may advice you if this product is suitable for you. (Not applicable for Stage 4 tunes)
