Update so far

[Texas]

We'll thanks for all the welcomes I received and also a birthday message too

Just to update so far

My first volvo
My first t5

So far I have done a full service and also replaced the whole pcv system
What a job on a ME7 t5!

But all done and the C70 is running like a dream

Now I need some information as I can't seem to find the answers on the forum anywhere

I am wondering what boost pressure is stock as I have had no luck from BSR in regards to the supposed remap
On full boost my guage reads 1.2bar so want to know what stock value should be

Any help appreciated

And once again

Thanks for the welcomes

Ps. Who's in kent ? Maybe meet up some time

Cheers
Texas

1.2 bar is remapped mate. usually only 0.8 bar

Was beginning to think I was conned when I bought it

It has blue injectors in it also, are these standard as a friends t5 had orange ones??

blue is standard for me7's oranges should only be in 850's

blue injectors are indeed standard on an ME7 mate

Is now a good time to tell you the easy way to do the PCV...

Lmao

I didn't really have a problem doing the pcv it was just learning how and what to remove/replace

Took me 3 hours start to finish and most of that was removing the intake manifold

The annoying part was after I fitted it all and it fired first time, I checked all the old pArts and it was just the upper banjo bolt that was blocked !!

But.... It's now good for a good long time

[M-R-P]

Well.. the easy way is not to remove the manifold

Because it's usually the banjo bolt that's blocked

[Texas]

I know for next time !

Good job parts were cheap and genuine volvo parts too from dealer
I love family discount lol !

Strut brace next ! Then lowering

[M-R-P]

keep the updates coming mate

Look into powerflex bushes - transforms the feel of the car.

[Texas]

Top engine mount is already done so that is on my list for suspension when I lower it

What's the best lowering kit?

[Wobbly Dave]

I am running eibach pro-kit springs & bilstein shocks. 40mm drop from standard.

[M-R-P]

depends on what you want... you can eliminate torquesteer with something like apex springs and polybushes or go the whole hog and fit coilovers... or get the pfv kit and keep most of the. comfort.

been in that car... great setup.

[Wobbly Dave]

I am not a great fan of coilovers - the dramatic drop looks good but the ride is too much for my liking on UK roads.

I am also running bigger ARB from IPD (front & rear).

I will almost certainly be coming to the next southern softies meet - so you can have a butchers at Betsy

Thanks for some ideas

When is the next meet ? And where is it held?

[tichai]

Are those TSW alloys? They look like the ones I'm looking at.
