S70 Cold Air Intake


Stea1thV

Recommended Posts

HI,

I know im a newbie :rolleyes: but could someone tell me where i could find a good cold air intake to replace my airbox in my S70. I have a 1999 S70 GLT i know its a light pressure turbo but i feel that a new intake could give me a small boost in performance and a better sound.

any and all help would be apreciated, thanks in advance....

volvo stock airbox is very efficient already. you won't benefit much from some aftermarket. and most certainly not stock. this is swedish stuff man, not some japanese stuff

edit: hahaha i actually wrote "stuff" after swedish. it was the word after japanese that got censored

For a great throaty sound disconnect the maf from the airbox. Connect some aluminum tubing on the end of the maf and put it next to the ign. coil. I don't even have a filter on the end, and i've had no problems. Probably not a wise thing but the maf has a honeycomb protector over it already. Plus no real harmful contaminents get up by the ign coil in my humble opinion

Rob

P.s. Alot of people will disagree with me, but the sound is awesome.

A lot of people will call you an idiot, and tell you to quite dispensing horrible advice.

And they'll be right.

wow.

but i never did like the friggin air filter concept anyway.

yeah man, open it up. let the engine get some fresh air.

but i say for a really mind numbing sound, you might take out your hood + the complete exhaust system.

now that's what i would call "real throaty".

Thanks guys haha. I was looking at the euro sport tuning one. I was just looking for some reasonable ways to increase HP and Torque it seems to me as the most efficient change is a ECU upgrade. As far as taking the sound dampening liner off LOL i don want to sound like a make truck im just lookin for more of a VRROOOOOOMM haha . Has anyone ever swithced out the turbo from a T5 to a GLT?
