i think your only bet is to make your own using silicone joints, i believe the OEM ME7 has a few sensors mounted into some of the pipes so not sure how easy it will be

[jer,c70]

what size are the bore of the sillicone pipes, that i need.?

Volvo being a pain made all the pipe outlets a different size, your best bet is to remove a pipe at a time & measure up what you need to replace it

ditch the bleed valve for a decent MBC (not R-spec, they seem to be having issues). As for the reverse flow as Pete mentioned i made up my own kit using stainless tube & silicone joints. I already had the Volvo reverse kit from the factory so can't do a direct comparison, but many people who have swopped noticed an improvement in spool up time on the turbo

my car has a rip kit fitted how and where would a dump valve fit int o the pic above?

it wants to go in the pipe from the bottom of the intercooler to the throttle body, as close to the throttle body as possible

where is the throttle body? lol

where is the throttle body? lol

i was going to say on the end of the inlet manifold, but think a pic is a better idea lol

i'll take a pic of my dump valve and put it up on here when i've had my tea

nice one

[T5frankie]

ok cheers and the vacuum pipe goes where?

[mightywolf]

ok hope this works.

sorry it's a bit hard to see, had to take it with ma phone. the throttle body is directly underneath the throttle cable wheel (see pedro's pic)

how are you supposed to fit a dump valve in that top half of the blue pipe, there don't seem to be enough room

[T5frankie]

ok hope this works.

thanks for the pic mate where does that vacuum pipe connect to?

[mightywolf]

if you look carefully on the first pic you can just see the blue vac hose behind the idle air control valve. there are 2 nipples on the manifold and it goes on the bottom one that normally goes to the re-circ valve (you should be able to trace back the hose to see it connect onto the re-circ valve on the turbo). the hose that goes to the re-circ needs to be taken off then the re-circ valve needs to be taken off and blanked off.

Hi guys,
I'm thinking of fitting a RIP kit to my 2004 2.4T GT,
Not as a power mod,
but so that I can get at my AUTO g/box dipstick...lol

So after fitting this kit,

CAN YOU get at the auto dipstick at all, ???
(cos at the moment I cannot even see the dipstick, even when pulling /pushing pipes and cables about, and I haven't got asbestos arms)

This is so that I can do an oil change when ready (Its practically impossible to dip it nevermind change it at the moment)

I do not know what engine management system or whatever ME7 is, that I have. All i know is it's a 2004 2.4T.

Any help advice will be appreciated.
cheers,
joe.
