Does anyone know if a dump valve from a 850 T5R will fit a C70 T5???

850 T5R doesnt have a dump valve. It has a recirc valve attached to the turbo. All the mitsi/volvo turbos do.

If you are referring to an aftermarket DV then it will depend on which engine you have (ME7 or not)

Then there is the questionable taste issue. see here...

But that's just my take on it. There is no performance gain to be had in fitting a BOV.

Yes it is an aftermarket DV, my C70 is 1998/R reg, not sure on the engine.
Do you know?
Cheers.

If its got a throttle cable then its pre-ME7, if its not then it is ME7 ;)

does this mean i can't fit a BOV, to my ME7? I know some people don't like them, but the car is not discreet anymore, it's covered in advertising
