Why????

[stainesy]

just a question about sumit iv always wondered.

why do some T-5 engines have the boost pipe going across the engine and down. like the yellow pipe bellow in my engine

and why do some go strait across the engine to the intercooler like in the pic at the bottom?

whats the diferance? and is it certain models that have it?

the striaght over jobbie is the reverse IC that was standard on the very early T-5's. Apparently due to freezing issues in Sweeden it was changed for the "curved" jobbie :)

The second picture is called a reverse IC set up. This was the way it was done on early T5s but was changed to the set up you have now. There was a reason it was changed ...something to do with freezing temps in the pipe causing issues, someone will know for sure tho ....

Edit ...cos Mrs M is a woman she can type quicker than me !!

oh right cheers that has been bugging me for a wile now LOL

is one better than the other?

[t5 pete]

the reverse flow set up is alot better as it shortens the route for the air to flow

[stainesy]

how would i go about changing mine to that then? and what would i need?

[t5 pete]

either get the set up from a leter 850 t5 or buy the same as i have got have a look on my profile they come from ipd and partsfor volvo i think

This is correct...and it looks cooler too IMO...

me and a mate were talking about this the other day and i was going to ask myself,
we thought the straight version looked shorter and more direct,
does it make a difference???

turbo spooled up quicker when i done mine.

My 850R has the reverse ic set up,the only dif i can tel is slightly quicker response from the turbo.I tried both,one after the other & kept what i felt was the best.Quite an easy swap.

[dannt5]

Oh...& it also makes it a bit easier getting to the dist cap

[nathT5]

what would it cost to convert mine? seems like a helpful mod...

[t5 pete]

you can get oone off a old 850t5 for penuts or if you want the setup i have there £200

[t5 pete]
