That were requested from some...

Still need to get cold air feeds to Ind kit as struggling to find a route for them..

Dump valve next to battery, was the easiest and most accessable place to fit it.Easy removed to but just replacing one pipe if I get sick of it etc...

Going to fabricate something to enclose the kit aswell..

Chavved up enough for you Steve / Marc

IT's loud enough so you can hear it well...

Any improvements out of the Dv will be good.....If it reduces lag etc all good..And so far sound is quite nice aswell.

If anything that DV will increase lag by dumping air to the atmosphere.

you think?

TBH honest in the driving it feels more responsive with the kit and valve but that could just be my mind playing tricks on me as I want it to be better...

The filter will make the car more responsive as its less restrictive. The dv will be in your mind!!

Revs don't seem to drop dramatically not that I've noticed though..

The recirc valve is still in there too and not blanked off...This was suggested to keep the noise fdrom being overly loud but loud enough..Other T4 owners done this with no problems.

Isn't the Volvo engine like the VAG ones were they use low compression turbo's that boost from about 2K like my old Audi A3 Turbo???

You get lag on big and monster turbo's not standard cars mav
