I don't have an AWD but yes, the top of the FPR gets vacuum lines, that is how fuel pressure is regulated under boost vs at idle. So they will go to the engine bay but I don't know where.

GREAT idea. I thought about doing the same thing.

Go to this website:

http://www.volvopartswebstore.com/

Key in the info from your donor car and then you can pull up a diagram for the fuel line, transfer case, etc. If you have a good printer you can blow it up on 11 x 17 paper. Good luck.

No problem. When you go to that link you will see some pretty good diagrams with part numbers as well in case you have to order anything. I use it all the time.

Hi
Any one know if this is correct , installing m58 gearbox with angelgear, 98 mod . The old gearbox m56 had speed sensor in the gearbox. But that was changed in 1996 i belive when the obd2 came. As I can figure out , they pick up speedo signal from one of the abs sensors...

Place a jumper between Brown / yellow cable on connection . No. 33 (red socket) and Green / red cable connection . No. 24 ( white base) on the left side the steering column under the dashboard
Anyone had this problem ??

You should be able to tap a wheel sensor to get the speedometer signal. I'm at my cabin so I don't have the schematics with to give you wire colors. The wheel sensor and the transmission sensor have the same number of pulses per revolution.
