[Siscos850Turbo]

Hi im new here and i just bought a 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo Wagon and was wondering where i could get a Cold Air Intake?

[Naughty33W]

short ram air intake - http://www.ipdusa.co.../p-72-143-3546/

highflow in stock location - http://www.eurosport..._Code=VL-850-en

personally i would make my own , you can get just as good a setup or better by fabricating it yourself

if you want performance, just get a K&N panel filter. The stock air box is a very good design, pulls cold air from the front of the car. If you want the turbo whistle sound, you can get a kit from IPD or EST. They are open air cone filters with heatshields, no performance gain, just sound.

i have a pipe that runs to the stock location with a highflow cone on it (i like the sound ) , i fabricated my own heatsheild but most importantly i run pvc piping up to the cone , the same could be done with 2-3" flexible hose , but yeah you will def hear it with only a cone filter

(thepvc or flex being the cold air draw)

where is the blow off valve on these things? do they have one?

[Boost_Junky]

they have a cbv on the turbo insted of a blow of vavle, serves the same purpose

Yes, Get an SRT4 BOV plate. Mounts inbetween the CBV and the turbo.

Block it of and get a really one. Or just get a cone filter and you will be able to hear it. Custom CAI is the way to do it. ~$50 for a good setup.

uhm it's a little more than $50 but yeah that's the way to go.

All depends on which filter you buy and how many parts you use....

I did mine on my 745T for $50. Spectre filter ($25) and two 3" pipes from Spectre ($24). a clamp and some heater hose for a bumper setup. Free heat shield (made form crap in the garage).
Cheap, but works great!

true true. mine kept adding up more than expected. Your's is a little shorter too looks good: ) custom is best. To the OP, make sure you remove that restrictive pipe after the maf.

Yours looks nice, where is the filter? it looks like it is in a box..... or is out side the engine bay?

OP: this is a good site for silicone and stuff.... http://www.siliconeintakes.com/
pipes can be found at any autozone or pepboys...

+1 silcone intakes

the filter is in a bucket LOL with the bottom cut out. I was trying to keep large amounts of water from hitting it through the bumper grill at highway speeds.

im pretty sure the srt4 does NOT work. i had an srt, and looked into putting one of the plates on my 850. but the diaphram in the srt work different. plus there isnt really room behind our cbv for the plate, lol.

I don't mean to hijack, but I had a few questions as well.

Does anyone make a kit that replaces the tubing between the MAF sensor the turbo to be used with a cone filter?

Thanks.
