No reason why that won't work mate. Lots of people would say get an OE one but I've got the IPD tcv and it's fine although it takes a while for it to settle-in.

t5 not got a smaller turbo tho???

The TCV works by pulses sent from the ECU mate. it's not pressure sensitive, it'll just do as the ECU tells it.

You may find a genuine Volvo one is cheaper, the one for our S60R was only £45 from a main dealer.

not much point in buying a second hand one Frankie is there?????
ipd are charging £59.11 sterling and 15 sterling delivery Jamie if you can match I,ll be on the phone to order it chum

sorry, i cant match it for you- our price takes into customs charges (which there will be as an individual) , vat, and shipping costs. which we have already paid out to get them here.

we do have to make a little profit on the items or we wouldn't be here.

thanks Jamie I understand
just off the phone with smw a few moments ago the boy I was chatting to refered to it as a turbo control selinoid confused me even more
£ 60 plus vat.......

**M-R-P** · Friday 31st May 2013, 11:46

Turbo control solenoid, turbo control valve, boost control solenoid... All the same thing (it's a valve controlled by an electric solenoid).
The IPD thing is a lot closer in it's construction to the valves you get on industrial machinery. You can pull it apart and clean it too.

**NORDIC R** · Friday 31st May 2013, 11:59

in that case the dealership here want 60 quid plus vat for it
I may just get myself on down and order it
martin thanks very much for your help buddy

**M-R-P** · Friday 31st May 2013, 12:06

Any time mate.

It wouldn't be right if I sat here, knowing (some of) the answers and said nothing
