Going to fit it tomorrow...Talking to Volvo techs and because the air filter sits way off to the RHS of bay it doesn't get much heat soke and seem to work well on the engine..Time will tell..going to get plenty cold air into it and maybe even try and fit it inside an adapted original air box..
also Dv getting fitted friday morning not costing me much money so if i hate it can remove it after a while..And if i feel car is not running great with either they will be removed straight away...

vta dump valves are not ace, and cone filters are a big no no, especially on turbo cars.
if its in the engine bay it will get hot. if you want to fit a k and n, get a custom pipe made up and situate the k & n near the wheel arch or something

Enclosing the filter off would be a good idea too

I know a few of you on here know your stuff
But I have spoken to volvo techs and alot of ppl on a few sites with turbo volvo's etc and some running bigger power etc and they have never had problems with an ind kit.
I know you are trying to help but i will fit it and if it has any detremental effect it will come off...
and as for vid i will try, going to buy a video cam soon anyway.

I'd seal it off from the engine bay Mav, not all cars suffer from having them fitted though, you are right.

Well kit is fitted...Kept the underneath of OE air box and going to mod the top to cover it..Cold air feed not fitted yet as it started pishing down with rain
Been out for a few drives and runs well...And i must say it sound superb..The guys on volvo forums said it made there T4 sound like darth vader
fook they were right
Here it sucking in the air and then when gear changed or off throttle sounds like I have a DV in there already..Guys on s40concepts said you can hear the recirc valve more and thats what it will be ???? I dunno but sounds good...
DV tomorrow then getting it booked in for a remap somewhere.....
Also FMIC is an option fad next after remap..
car run well with no ill affects but only been on afew hrs...
pics tomorrow when DV fited too
