some insurance company's are alot better than others, sometimes it's best to find a compramise between prices comparing before and after you'd have done something like chipping it.

my insurance was 2700 in the 2.0 of mine but with the 2.5 in and now im just turning 20 it's 1400ish!

Volvo S60 P2.5 T5 mmmm!

Pull out the ECU (by the battery) Crack it open (8mm socket and a flatblade required) Lever chip out off then reverse the procedure. Can be done in 5 minutes. Fuel economy is often good........the explination.....i've just had a second chip RR'd..... LEAN
