ok guys she's all on, took me a few minutes to fit and an hour of setting it up. Max boost 13.8psi and holds around 12.7psi.

God what a vast improvement.

I'd like to thank all those who helped me out with digrams, post and instructions.

BB54, Duane, JOD andirf.

Thanks guys you rule!

Might consider this myself! Are you guna get an RR done of it Dipsta? What gains would you expect (R is about 275 isn't it?)
Q.I have a 2001 so can you tell me if there is there any difference with the ECU's / compatibility? Is a waste gate necessary (I duno if my T5 auto has one but I'm not a fan of cars that constantly sneeze,lol)

Volvo didn't make a c70R

My car is a t5 auto which produced 240bhp.

With an mbc i think i'm getting about 265bhp possibly less. so i am looking at getting the car chipped.

I don't think a me7 fly by wire car will take an mbc but i may be wrong, it ould be best to start a new post to find out whether it is possible.

Just double check to be sure.
