    News bits fitted courtesy if Biff

    I recently bought biffs dual exhaust and Bosch maf. And I'm very pleased with results. The exhaust has a none intrusive tone overall but sings a nice note when you boot it. The most impressive thing for me is that the "boost leak/screaming " noise over 1bar i had before fitting the maf has gone. I kept getting a lean code coming up and lambda light often on prior to fitting the new maf. The old maf was a cheap imitation i believe and comparing the 2 side by side you can see a huge build quality difference.

    Can someone explain how and why this is the result?? Pics to follow after I clean her up abit

    The Bosch maf has made so much difference. So pleased. It's boosts and holds 19psi with easy now. Lots of tyre smoke created today lol.

    Maybe I should get some wheels like yours...... I must say, they are the nicest aftermarket wheels I've seen on a Volvo to date

    I'm tempted to invest in the awd system again this year. Get it running perfectly. Just need to source a viscous coupling

    Do it! Speak to Shem, he really knows his stuff when it comes to awd systems. He had a prop that would've fitted mine in his shop.
    I just needed everything else fixing first! Lol
    Miss the sound of that Jetex & the big 5 pot. Best mod I carried out.
