I have a 99 V70XC with 130K on it and my front caliper bushings started to go on me. My friend suggested that I try these. The install is as easy as replacing with OEM parts. Only difference is brass bushings instead of rubber and the use of snap rings. Since I've replaced them, breaking is much smoother and I don't feel any play in breaking. When I break I also find that my car doesn't pull in one direction which in nice. Really though, for the $90 which is less then what you would pay to buy the replacement parts from IPD is a super nice option.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:21:06 +0000 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125962-break-caliper-bushing-upgrade/ http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125961-p2-drls/ Ive replaced two sets of hid bulbs this year and its getting pretty expensive to change the bulbs so often. Since im in Canada the dealer wont turn the DRL off, so is there any other option you guys know of? Fuse or relay or something? Im not going back to halogens...]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:11:07 +0000 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125961-p2-drls/ http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125959-ive-been-published/

I have a 95 850 5 speed Turbo wagon (HPT) with 240K Kms on it and it has had a limited boost problem since Ive owned it. It boosts to 7-8 psi max and then fades to 4-5 psi. I have replaced a just about everything I can think of :
rotor
plugs
wires
fuel filter
air filter
BCS
and ran through several tanks with injector cleaner.
I was told that it could be a clogged cat that was limiting the boost so I replaced the whole exhaust from the turbo back with an OBX one. I have added a cat and ultra quiet resonator to try to quiet it a bit. In order to accommodate the angled flange downpipe I swapped my 15G with a 16T turbo.
I welded an extra bung in the downpipe so that I can do proper testing of future tunes and when I out the wideband in it was reading very low AFRs (8 - 10) when the boost was low at WOT. The ecu is a stock tune and the only mods are exhaust and turbo (which from what I read is not so much of an upgrade). I pressure tested the inter cooler and piping and everything is perfectly fine.

Today I disconnected the line to the wastegate and the car is incredible, I was careful to not let it boost too high but it now fully boosts with ease.

So I hear that the PCV gets clogged and can cause some problems like this one, is there anyway to test this? Or could it be another issue?

Thanks for any info, I want to get this stage 0.1 working properly before I start with the ECU tunes.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:54:06 +0000 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125944-limited-boost-problem/ http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125940-shes-alive/ I just tried to post the pics of the build but couldn't, so how the heck do u???]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:42:21 +0000 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125940-shes-alive/ http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125937-plumbing-in-a-garrett/ *Interested in things like what OD/ID of hose you used for the specific lines.

Any way I have been looking into the Rica PPC i like the preformance and that i can switch back to stock if i want. I wana know if anyone on here has one and how its worked for them and if its worth the price.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:48:02 +0000 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125932-rica-ppc-chip-mod/
