Rufio' s S80

[Rufio]

Now sold my Corsa and got a new car 2.5td Volvo S80. Going for a sleeper. So lots of engine mods in terms of Superchip, bigger turbo, Exhaust etc. Exterior: Lowering, Tints, Possibly new alloys, Debadge. Drove it for the first time on Saturday and so far love it. Thought i would post a thread up so you can follow my progress:

[Murphy]

So it's an electric dump valve? :shifty:

[jez.w]

Bit of a change , corsa to S80. Can u park it ok? Only joking!

[Jaseb77]

So it's an electric dump valve? :shifty:

aye me no-understand,

[Rufio]

Yeah still getting used to the parking lol. It has a little computer unit which works off the throttle pedal and tells the dump valve to release when needed.
I got a little video but not too good as running from stand still so the Dump vlave hasn't spooled up all the turbo. Better sound when more use of turbo.

Thats a nice looking S80 you've got...not too sure about the parking sensors sticking out of the boot though, guess you need them since you are used to parking a Corsa :lol:. Where are you getting the gauge pod from, I'd love to get one for my Turbo?

[Rufio]

Yeah i think i will need to get rid of those sensors soon haha, found some that will go underneath the bumper so that you cant see it. This is the site for that gauge: http://www.carbonfiberwerks.com/

Dont get the parking sensors that go into the bit of black plastic under the bumper.

The sensors need to be vertical and if you put them under the bumper they are not and you get false readings as there pointing towards the floor.

I know I have them....

[Al115]

Vertical = horizontal?

[Rufio]

do you mean this one? http://www.parkingdynamics.co.uk/

[Davew]

Vertical = horizontal?

No Vertical. If the were horizontal they would be pointing at the floor.
