speak to fraz m8, the recirc already has a blanking sheet inbetween it and the turbo housing thats why there's no hose on it :)

the springs were unique to the 'R' models afaik m8 thats what lowered the chassis along with a tuned damper setup :)

stut top mounts m8, i had planned to do them but never got round to it
also if you plan on doing the drop links try and get proper volvo or ipd as the ones i put on were cheap scan ones and havent...

for refference m8 the boost gauge was showing 16 - 17psi when i had the rica 304 in there :)

Probably go for thule bars and some roof mount carriers?
unless you have a tow ball? but i think the roof mount option will be cheaper and still gives you access to the load area :)

garage has got back and reckons its the egr valve thats buggered and spewing oil?
could this cause the ecu to go into limp mode?

not in a million ;)
for £1500 they could have mine :D http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?t=27987

cool, the more info i can get to pass along the better :)

cheers m8 will pass that along :)

not mine but my brother in laws S40, leaking oil and severely down on power.
he says that the turbo will sometimes work and then other times theres nothing
where would be your first ports of call...

sorry yes you're right, the std T5's will have a 15g turbo and boost set at 9.5psi

so the ecu map would be incorrect for the 'R' turbo

would that mean that a 15g map would be underboosting the...

ignore wrong advice given: sorry

sounds like a boost spike?
mine used to hold boost at 16psi but i did see it spike a couple of times, depends on the gauge as well :)

20psi would be 1.378949 bar
13psi would be 0.896317

handy...

my old rica 304 used to boost 16 - 17 Psi for refference :)

V70R Manual P1 runs an 18T turbo Auto runs the 16T turbo whereas the T5 runs a 15G turbo iirc
manual has 10 bhp more than auto 250Bhp vs 240Bhp

the P2s run 300Bhp on the R's (oh and are all AWD)...

could put an R Design badge on it tho LOL ;)

i think you should as it will improve the front end appearance loads :)

not sure m8 but have to agree they are sooooo good in this weather :D

yes very str8 forward m8
had mine fitted into a moulded a pilar pod that i made myself, ill dig out the pics and show you how i went about it :)

ive got one of the air code movement gauges fitted which does the sweep on ignition, ...

thats got to be one of the easiest mods to date!!!!
couple of holes drilled using an arbor and bench drill and job done!!!
got them cable tied for now but will employ some brackets once i get them...

seb where did you mount your balasts m8 ?
mine have arrived today and gonna fit them tomorrow when im at work

im pretty sure its based on current measurements taken from the motor but im not 100% sure on that, the auto return windows would read a high current demand and reverse the motor to fully open in the...

yeah, they are done by relays. only the newer phase 2s will have the ultra high sense function built in. i believe that the relays have a primitive sense circuit but would still do some damage if...

would love to see a table of the S70R / V70R Phase 1's
ive only seen one S70R around my area
