volflo Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 + 50 hp ít is an insulated hose that leads air from fornz on top of turbo. i removed the heat shiled first of course. i rearrenged the drying hose for the ECU, dremeled the plastic of the cooler reinforcment thing and led the hose from the front directly on top of turbo.i helps keeping the turbo cooler. (cooler turbo ---> more air)i actuallly think i noticed the oil staying cooler a bit. but i cant guarantee that of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I thought the idea for turbos was to keep them warm/hot so they would spool faster? http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/Pro...782&prmenbr=361Just a thought. -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drPheta Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Hey, I noticed you're running ContiExtremeContact tires. How do you like them, and can you compare them to other tires you've tried.I'm using them for about a year now, and so far they've been great for me.And how did you fit 19s on there without rubbing? Did you remove all the liner and roll the fenders?Finally, that spoiler is a nice touch. Always love the wagons with spoilers. It was missing in earlier pics, and made the car look naked.

It was missing in earlier pics, and made the car look naked.thanks. for the feed back. the rear wing is actually not the OEM one but from ms design who do quite a few exterior parts for volvos.those wheels do look big, i know. but thats more due to the lowering thanh to anything else. those wheels are 17 ". i go with 245/35 17 all around.with conti sport contact II at the front. (we dont have extreme contacts here in germany so maybe thats another name for the same tire?)im very stisfied with them, eso in race use when they get hot they are geourgeous. the falkens i had before where torn to pieces within one round at nurburgring. despites them being BRAND NEW. large pieces of rubber just got torn on the fk 451s. i returned them to the dealer.on the rear im running yokos which are despite same size about 20mm broader than teh contis or the falkens and fit perfectly on the rear thus making spacers unneccessary. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 thanks. for the feed back. the rear wing is actually not the OEM one but from ms design who do quite a few exterior parts for volvos.Do they sell in the US?

drPheta Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 You have a close up shot of that wing? I can't tell from the pictures what it looks like, except for this little bump on the top where it mounts onto the tailgate. I'd like to see what's the diff between this wing and the OEM one.

Guest Guest_23109VC Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 would that size wheel fit on an S70? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks very nice! hard to tell from the pics, is there a 3rd brake light?-Chris the paint job on the wing is a desaster. dont know why. so there is NO close up. i will do one if u want.it has no 3rd b light. and the nice thing that i like about it is that is as broad as rear glass and doesnt go "over " the tail lights.i got mine from mr sweden. write them e mail: webmaster@mr-tuning.desince ms design is from austria i dont know if they sell in the u.s.
