Hi


I just thought I would quickly post about my new toys I have just purchased for my Volvo 850 T5 (She deserves it - passed m.o.t, straight through with no advisorys :) not bad for the old girl. Its my birthday on Thursday so lets get spending!!!!!

I purchased the following:

*TWR CARBON FIBRE ENGINE COVER

* FORGE MOTORSPORT DUMP VALVE AND FITTING KIT WITH BLANKING PLATE

* SNAP ON RACHET SPANNER 10MM FOR BLANKING PLATE FITMENT :) Hopefully will make job easier!!!!

Hopefully will be getting pipercross cone filter in about a week too :)


I must say I thought these where all a VERY VERY good price, top 3 I got for under £130 delivered!!!!

Thanks Phill

good choice with the Pipercross, don't bother with the Viper just get the standard foam cone. I've had both & there was no difference between them in performance

once you've fitted the recirc blanking plate just take the car for a spin before you fit the dump valve:wink:

Is this cone any good?

It says 70mm ID!!! I take it that means internal diameter???? will it be right being 70mm on the inside edge if so which pipe will I need anyone got a link for the pipe to fit it and the car?

Thanks Phill

the Pipercross i had came with a chrome/alloy funnel which pushed onto the MAF, but the material/foam will be the same so have the same effect. Yes it is 70mm internal (hense the ID, OD is outside diameter) & think it'll fit straight onto the MAF sensor as it is
