Great work as usual Merc but now im stuck on what size tail pipe in going to have I was going to go with 3.5" as I though 4" would look too big but that looks awesome, choices choices looks with Gra will have to bring both down to see which is best

Thanks Graham, the standard of cars on here just seem to be getting higher and higher, Martybelfasts post saw me spend the next hour with carpet shampoo doing my driver's floor matt, came out well but his hoover certainly looks a good investment.

Small update, searched everywhere for a new one didnt wanna adjustable one and faff about with colour coded springs, £175 from volvo then managed to source this.
Updates this evening after fitment and a drive think the R is going to like it
lol couldnt wait so went home and got the car, Fitted it at work and went for a quick spin looks like the actuator was weak, now she boosts off the end of the gauge and stays there all the way round till she shifts Happy Days
Oh its a 14.7 psi Actuator too.

Hello,
Where did you find this wastegate, please? I didn't know that Volvo was providing it separately. Is it a 300/70 19T one, please? Mine is the genuine 16T one, but I changed for an angled housing and needed to lenghten it while I installed the housing and did WG preload adjustment.

It's amazing what you find on the net I'm the current owner! Bought her earlier last year. It's great to see how well it was looked after back then!
