a boost valve won't work on a ME7 car i'm afraid (or did they do a S60 that wasn't fly-by-wire?)

I had one on my '96 T5 Estate, it was brilliant if set up properly! I presume they will work ok on a '98 S70 too??

they'll work fine on anything pre-ME7

what valve did you use before, was it a bleed valve or an mbc? (i've got a mbc & certainly wouldn't wouldn't go any other way)

I may try one of these next, you can get them with or without a gauge

it doesn't look a bad deal tbh i know some charge that just for the mbc (but it is only a cheap gauge)
