Any chance of a kit being made for the S70 at that price? I'd love one for my T5m!

So just a little update. I got to look at a couple autos again at Carlisle and the piping will definitely not work for an auto. Both the bottom trans cooler line and the dipstick are in the way. I will work on finding an auto to mock up auto piping. I would need it for about 1-2 weeks though. If anyone in the area has a spare 850 turbo they can leave at my house for a couple weeks sometime I can get the (cold side) prototype done...

Also it seems there is some interest in P2 models. It can certainly be done but the process is a little slow. I started this last summer so it took that long to get everything together. It should be faster each consecutive time but I don't have a P2 to do a mock up with.

Also should mention that people with SAS will need to delete it...shame.

Obviously I don't have an automagic but I DO have plenty of free time as I am newly "funemployed" so if you need a hand or want someone to do the dirty work you have my number

I'm in for a kit once you get them in stock.

How many will be ready? Is there a pre order?

[sconeman]

I have 25 full sets coming on the first shipment and 10 extra piping sets. Once I get the website listing completed I'll put them up for pre-order. I would say that's going to be about a week from now possibly sooner.

[volvos60t5x]

Kristian, did you check my email? Lucky gave me your email to send you some info.

Anxiously awaiting cost for just piping!

Anxiously awaiting for these to arrive.

Yesterday merging onto the highway from an on-ramp I blew a hot-side I/C hose. My engine died almost instantly, I couldn't even limp the car to an exit. I had to pull onto the grass right next to a super busy highway. Of course it was a hose/pipe that ran under the car, which made fixing it even harder and more dangerous since I couldn't watch to see if someone was going to smash into my car. Even though I'm running t-bolt clamps and almost every i/c pipe is flared at the end, it will give me peace of mind using an almost one piece design.
