I'd be tempted to just fire some boost into it and enjoy it. If I breaks then fix it!
No. Well you can but it's not advisable at all.
Try and get the part number off it and look to VW for a replacement it'll be a lot cheaper than volvo!
^^^yeah what he said^^^ I do them myself, i got fed up with cowboys and false promises so learned how to do it. I don't charge a lot for it really, in fact after paying to get the ecu socketed I...
Think the new one deserves a remap ;)
All hoses fitted now. I'm impressed by the quality and fit and would certainly recommend them. Also got to mention the great service from pfs, ordered yesterday and here this morning!

Wow, not messing about are you Pete! Looking awesome mate, can't wait to see it finished.
