Re: Just ordered a set of Continental DWS 205/55/16s

My buddy just gave me me a set of 235/45/17 dws's he had laying around his shop. They are great in the snow and the ride is WAY smoother than my old bridgestones. 235's are a bit to wide though, I rub at full lock. I like the way they make it look meaner though.

Re: mbc or no?

I run an mbc (set at 14 pounds of boost) with a with a similar exhaust setup and I have had no problems. Just keep the boost reasonable unless you get a tune. Too much boost and not enough fuel makes for a bad day. Having said that, a boost gauge is your best friend when your setting your mbc. When ...

Re: Defeating the torque limit request on the Volvo 850 Turb

That sucks to hear that didn't work for you either Matt. I had in anticipation of this mod working crimped male and female connectors on the ends so I could plug and unplug as I choose, but now I'm just gonna plug it back together and and call it good. Maybe it's a good thing it didn't work.......I ...

Re: Defeating the torque limit request on the Volvo 850 Turb

i saw the green and red wire but not the yellow and violet, probably cause i wasn't looking for it. tempted to try the green and red. As far as the reverse burnout.... I can't bring myself to do that to my car. boost is still the same after the shift since i have a boost controller. on another note ...

Re: Help Please!

Anytime it is 36 degrees or colder your display will automatically switch to the temp and light up the red light to alert you. You can change it back by turning the selector knob.

Re: Defeating the torque limit request on the Volvo 850 Turb

I tried this little "mod" tonight. It didn't seem to do anything. I split the green wire with the yellow strip to interupt the signal. Wasn't that hard but a little disappointing when i mashed on it and it was just the same as before. Any advice? :?

Re: Defeating the torque limit request on the Volvo 850 Turb

I found this post really interesting and would like to see some pics of this set up. My yellow is a monster past 30mph but could use a little more off the line. I plan on doing this mod I just want to be really sure what I have to do. If this works it would be awesome..... Well maybe not for my ...
