volvoguy23 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 What kind of catch cans are those by the coil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Nifty looking ECU you got there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Get rid of those standard hose clamps on the oil cooler hose - even old used Volvo clamps would be much better... What kind of catch cans are those by the coil? Provent, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpin Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 What kind of catch cans are those by the coil? Provent, they work great until the element gets saturated.

Lol. didn't see it earlier, however you should know better... I agree that braising the water pipe was the best way to go, BTW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpin Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I even went to Napa and bought those because I wanted strong ones. I'll swap them out at some point but my head is scrambling to come up with some sort of breather. I should not need the Provents now because I wont have the serious blow by anymore. Maybe I will use just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 One Provent should be more than sufficient with any Volvo family turbo setup, and stock rpm limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
