I agree with you James on the pistons but isn't that simple oversize which the bore has to be oversized too to accomodate the piston so not the same as increasing the CC as the stroke isn't altered...

I've got a plan to increase the CC of my 2.3 T-5 engine as it's being rebuilt to a stronger spec [Yes I bent a Rod too much welly]

I don't want to go down the route of fitting the 2.4 if it's even...

Be careful on turning the MBC up and giving your car a lot of boot [no idea which foot as I use hand controls] or as I found your engine will soon make very nasty rattle noises resulting in a £300++...

You mean like this ? Paraffin and a lot of elbow grease

Can someone shed some light on how tight the crank wheel should be ? I am in the process of stripping a spare engine to have it rebuilt but cannot remove the crank wheel Tried undoing the 4 10mm...

A Broken one

I have an angle flanged TD04HL-16T forsale all you need to do is change your flat 15G flange for the angle one by removing the central band and tapping the flange off

16T was fitted to the 850R...

Make sure you buy an MBC not a bleed valve: Bleed valve has three legs MBC has two. As suggested don't go for the cheapest MBC you can find as you could end up with similar problems that I've got...

Thats the one found one listed as greedy on fleabay I'll take your better judgement

ahh shucks you got me I removed the T5-D5 sticker and polished the moose sticker along with the VPUK sticker.

Hadn't thought the difference in turbocharger was the issue I'll lower the boost...

Yes my car has been remapped, how can the remapping suddenly alter the boost level unless the chip has become corrupt.

The adjuster on the MBC is very stiff too adjust so can't see how it can...

My T-5 has rising boost after changing the oil for Mobil 10-30 Semi Synthetic, 17 inch alloy with 225/45/17 Pirelli P6000 tyres and a new set of Turbo oil seals Nothing else has been touched or...

The VXR blues would be nice if there was a handy fuel tanker following

Thanks so the wastegate still operates as I thought the MBC has a spring type relief valve in it that acts on the screw part

Correct me if I'm thinking wrong: With a manual boost controller fitted instead of using the electronic TCV on a 97 850 T-5 does the wastegate still operate or is the MBC doing the work of both the...

didnt see the point of making a new post on Water injection when one was running so sorry for hijacking.

I found it this morning when I went to collect some parts for my 850 I would need to run at least an 18inch to fit 320mm so I'll go for the 302mm

Ok I'll leave it as it is as I trust your opinion.

Which Volvo models ran the 320mm upgraded brake discs ? Will these run under 17inch wheel rims and do I just need the modified caliper carriers to fit them on my 97 855 T-5?

I was considering below the front bumper if you suggest it's current position is fine I'll leave it were it is will save a heap of work. I had it suggested that the IC below the bumper would be more...

I'm thinking about moving the intercooler on my 850 T-5 and replacing it for a stand alone one so need to know what if any benefits would I see if I did this ?

Going on Wobbly Daves post "protecting your automatic transmission" Where is the best suggest place to site the auxillary cooler ? The pictures are no longer available

I have a small irritating problem with my T-5s boot lock sometimes the car will lock on the remote and sometimes it wont, indicator lights will flash as if it's locked but the door peg things dont...

Thanks for that both.

Why do I need to check fueling for under of over ? Today I will test in Sport mode not sure if I will get a different but I'll keep it around your suggested figures

Finally got around to fitting my MBC to my 97 850 T-5 today and now have a nice 16 PSI of boost @70mph in Eco mode without adjusting anything compared with 8-10 PSI ish with the stock TCV
