Is that a good thing or a bad thing then

**fraz13** · Tuesday 7th March 2006, 17:14

Basically from the top of the cooler to the turbo instead of inlet manifold and from bottom of cooler to inlet manifold instead of the turbo...

It dont make and performance differences I dont think just looks better in my opinion

I think the system was changed to the later style due to throttle bodies freezing in cold temps as it supposedly makes the engine run cooler (I aint noticed a difference)

Might answer your questions, Fraz right about the frozen throttle etc.

but there was a recall on rev i/c cars to help stop tb freezing
its the pipe that runs under the spark plug cover as i recently found out

First I have heard of it????

I dont think the freezing pipes was an issue in the UK as our temperatures dont get into the silly minus figures that places like sweeden do.

lol well according to bell's volvo
and our friend on here that is what it is

my car was once in the extreme north of Bradford area so maybe they have freaky weather up there
took a while to find out what it was but got there in the end

**Justin** · Tuesday 7th March 2006, 18:50

How does reverse IC make that pipe freeze ???

It cant make any difference from the later system at all ???

**t5tart** · Tuesday 7th March 2006, 18:51

i dunno
this was the explaination i got from bells why mine was different to stop tb freezing

**Justin** · Tuesday 7th March 2006, 18:53

LOL, someones pulling your chain mate, theres no way having reverse IC could make any difference at all to that.

**t5tart** · Tuesday 7th March 2006, 18:54
