Reverse Intercooler Pipes.

**Eddy T** · Saturday 23rd April 2011, 19:20

I have been offered a complete original Volvo setup that was fitted on early 850 Turbos, will this be of benefit or would larger pipes be required to see any noticiable gains?

**Jamest5r** · Saturday 23rd April 2011, 19:23

Defo worth having if the price is right.

**Rnash2002** · Saturday 23rd April 2011, 19:25

I fitted one to my c70 and defo felt the difference.

you should see the turbo spool up a bit quicker with the RIP, the routing is shorter & alot more direct

Excellent, I shall go and get it then as he only wants £40 delivered for the lot. Cheers for the replys.

give them a good check over before you part with any money, the pipes are 17years old now

Ok will do.

I do have a RIP set but have not fitted it because I am not sure where to fit the BOV. I know this is a totally feeble reason, but suggestions welcomed...

And then there is the MBC...

And then there is the MBC...

I made my own reverse piping kit and was impressed with the change in drivability, defiantly seems to spool up quicker

used all the O.E piping to make the conversion with the addition of a 2" pipe with a 45 degree bend on the end i had in the garage.

thanks

Sounds about right mate! The bloody local blackbird keeps singing (through a 50kw PA system I think) and waking me up too early!
