Re: snabb users tell me what you thought.

Mine is 99 s70 T5, and the fitments were not great. Performance-wise, I noticed slight gain at upper RPM but I think it got weaker at lower RPM. Maybe you need to do further intake mod to take full advantage of it. If you are not going to do so and you have a perfectly working intake pipe, i would ...

Re: catback exhaust drone

talked to my exhaust guy again. He said that I should just drive around and give some time for the pipes to seal themselves. It seems to me that either that or just get used to it. I already drove 600 miles over the weekend, and I will see in a next couple of weeks.

Re: catback exhaust drone

Another thing I noticed about the installation is that when my mechanic connected the catback to the pipe from the stock cat, he did not weld it, but just use the stock clamp there. Could this be an issue?

catback exhaust drone

I installed a EST catback today on my 99 S70 T5. And it is lot louder than I expected between 1700 rpm and 2300 rpm. This is a little annoying because unless I am hard accelerating or breaking it will be in this range. My mechanic cut 3 1/4 inch at the end of pipe to prevent the tip from sticking ...

Thanks. That's good to know.

Re: VIDA Subscription

Will the ebay clone can be used to reset SRS?


Not unless you have the VCT2000 interface and it is very expensive.

I also noticed that there are DICE devices on ebay. I am guessing they are clones, and yes they were as expensive as three times of what Volvo dealer charges for one reset ...

Re: Modifying the Wastegate actuator rod...

It seems that my boost fluctuation is gone. Even before replacing the IC hoses, it subsided itself quite a lot. I suspect that the new CBV spring and the waste gate adjustment needed sort of break-in time, which was about three weeks for me. After I cleaned the intercooler and replaced IC hoses ...
