Reverse Intercooler Pipes.

[Eddy T]

I have been offered a complete original Volvo setup that was fitted on early 850 Turbos, will this be of benefit or would larger pipes be required to see any noticiable gains?

[Jamest5r]

Defo worth having if the price is right.

[Rnash2002]

I fitted one to my c70 and defo felt the difference.

you should see the turbo spool up a bit quicker with the RIP, the routing is shorter & alot more direct

give them a good check over before you part with any money, the pipes are 17years old now

[Eddy T]

Ok will do.

I do have a RIP set but have not fitted it because I am not sure where to fit the BOV. I know this is a totally feeble reason, but suggestions welcomed...:redface:

And then there is the MBC...:(

I made my own reverse piping kit and was impressed with the change in drivability, defiantly seems to spool up quicker :)

used all the O.E piping to make the conversion with the addition of a 2" pipe with a 45 degree bend on the end i had in the garage.

thanks

I would grab that RIP kit with both hands, the aftermarket kits are about 500 notes IIRC, I made my own one up and it made a marked improvement
