V70R boost gauge fitted & results

The fueling should be fine on your car. The 16t can be run at 1.2bar on whites.

cleaning the engine the other day and took off the shroud over the injectors, where the leads plug into the injectors the injectors are white
1) is this the colour of the injectors
2) if so are whites std on the Rs
3) are whites good injectors
thought i would ask as its been years since i played around with cars performance wise and also never worried about injectors in the past LOL

Yep, whites are standard on the s/v70r (4.4.motronic).
As i'v said above they are fine with the turbo on your car (16t) up to 1.2 bar.

Possibly 1.3.

Smithy has told me this and its smithy who will be sorting my car when i get an mbc and setting it up, see if we can find out if its running well.

Sorry about the accuracy of the guage mate, it's been sitting in my box of bits for the last couple of years, i thought it was in good working order.

Not a problem at all mate, really appreciate it.....did nt notice it untill i came on here anyway ..lol
Should it have been on 0 then, basically opened up package and saw it pointing at 10, so thought then, well call that 0....but once fitted to car the needle went to -3 at idle then on full throttle 20/21 psi ....well if it is incorrect it cheered me right up....LOL
as they say you cant complain for nought....Thanks again James still owe you one..

You changed that throttle cable yet? it will make a massive difference to the way the car drives.

**kee1173** · Thursday 24th March 2011, 19:29

No not yet, waiting to here from Rufe about a strut brace, seen an OE on ebay for £70 inc postage, New just see if he can do better, but will ask him about a throttle cable, did tighten it up as really slack and now a lot better but still stiff...
But gotta ask him for a few more bits like Distributor cap, rotor, and plug leads to finish stage 0...also asked him about PCV renewal, the complete lot.... so getting there...
Looking at buying Stu s Dump valve but need to get a blanking plate, hopefully get all these bits done over the next few months then get her down to a cuple of meets....

think there about £63 from Rufe, not sure if thats including delivery

**kee1173** · Thursday 24th March 2011, 19:54

Similar then, Ebay was £64.00 plus £6.00 p&P, may order this one but need to get other bits from Rufe anyway, Asked my uncle who has a Motor Spares for a distributor cap and with family discount the best he could was £25.00, £12 for rotor arm and £45.00 for the leads, sure the caps and rotors are cheaper from Volvo not so sure about the leads tho....

that does seem dear for the cap & arm, but thinking about it i'm not sure i've ever replaced BT's lol. I got performance leads from Halfrauds for £40
