With the growing number of the "newer" Volvo cars and their owners making their way to our beloved message board, Volvospeed has decided to extend the following offer to all of our members.
Volvospeed is the Internet leader in the 'classic' front wheel drive Volvo; the 850. Our write-ups, and detailed how-to's are second to none. What we recognize is, if you're not growing, you're dying. Thus, we are extending six month, and oneyear "supporting member" status, for those that do a detailed write-up/how to. Special attention to the "networked cars" is also preferred.
Ideally, we are seeking basic maintenance issues, Brakes, Suspension, etc. Other things such as, "taking off the dashboard, removing door panels, these would be the types of things we are looking for. Performance modifications are also very desirable. Car Audio/Video, Exhaust installations, you guys know what we're talking about here.
The only stipulation is that the write up would be used for Volvospeed only, and be a write up or modification we do not already have. If you have any doubt Chuck, Greg, or myself can pre-approve your write up.
For every classic write-up you submit you will be given a free six month supporting membership. P1/P2 write ups will revive a 1 year membership.
thanks for reading, let us know if you have any other questions.
Love, Kevin.

Kevin can you start a topic in R forum and flag the new submissions. That way I can make sure everyone gets credit.

In order to make the adjustment correctly you should apply pressure to the wastegate actuator (I forget how many PSI maybe 3.. I forget)

Do I count:
http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?showtopic=45575
Hey it covers more than just 850, it does apply to any P1/P2 and some RWD, that have that connector, which some do.
On the bright side, i'm making a Alpine CD Changer to Volvo soon.
