or a diesel.

[V70 Graham]

What's the point, his turbo never spools up anyway.

Graham, I managed a 15.1@95mph 1/4mile out of my s70r auto which had 218whp, so i would have thought that with your mods, and with it being a manual, you should manage mid to late 14s........when you get the hang of it ;-)

sounds about right, same engine as mine. I'm sure I could get my time down a bit though (everyone says that )

The car is capable of doing 14`s not Graham.No idea what mine can do and won`t try it either lol

[V70 Graham]

Pulled the battery for a couple of hours this afternoon, maybe it will help the ECU learn again.....we will see.

That was my best time on the map the car came with, i then got another off hlm but on the last run of the season it was rained off so i didn't get to see if it was quicker. Then at the start of the next season i fitted an mbc for a while but was only managing 15.7s, then found that the actuator was shagged. Got another actuator but was still only managing mid 15s, then found out that although the mbc was bringing in the boost a lot earlier (very, very early) it couldn't hold the boost, which would drop off quickly after 4.5k. I got rid of the mbc and fitted a brand new actuator and got it to hold a decent boost level (13-14psi), but by that time the season had ended...........then sold it before i raced again lol

[Rudeyboy18]

I have pre ME7 car and I want to change my TCV. Or is it the BCS on my car??? Also where the hell can I get them ..... apart from Volvo dealer as im sure they are monster money as is IPDusa

[stribo]

The're only about £40 from Volvo.

[Rudeyboy18]

Ah that's not bad, I thought they were like 130 or something like that.
I will give MRG a call on monday

[V70 Graham]

Give Rufe a call at FRF Volvo and quote C3 for the forum discount.

[volvokid]

Mrg give good discount too Graham, its good to get two quotes at times.

[Rudeyboy18]

Do MRG give discount to VPCUK members though? I thought it was just t5d5. Mrg is 1.9miles from my work and 13miles from home so its ideal

i reackon it could be the rubber recirc valve causing that noise martin. - take it out (ha,ha a great job ) and see if it is splitting or deformed.
if so, could be time for an upgrade - forge or ipd .
the standard spring could be fluttering until the boost jamms it up shut and seals.

Funnily enough Jamie, me and Graham were chatting about this earlier and the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking it's the recirc farting. (well done to the others who said to check the recirc) I replaced the recirc pipe and the new one appears to have a slightly smaller I/D than the old one so it could be struggling to hold the valve shut under boost. I doubt it's split as the flutter stops when the W/G starts controlling the boost.

Yes, doing a recirc job is a bloody pain lol.

[V70 Graham]

.....yes, doing a recirc job is a bloody pain lol.

But after the great job you did with the MAF to turbo pipe surely you want to finish the job properly lol.....I bet your glad I'm away on holiday next week, still it's something for you to look forward to when I get back.
