Why did you paint the Peace Sign on your passenger door. does this mean that you don't go blastin' anymore. BTW I got a new blaster. I pick it up monday.

[ashvolvo]

Looks neat doug!
Would you happen to know the part number for the S60R upper intercooler pipe you're using?

[grizlyadams]

I could probably dig it up. Mine came from a wrecked S60R at a local dismantler. It was a mega pita to fit... that would be understatment of the year. The only other real draw back is its 2.25" at the bottom outlet... probably a bit small in terms of flow.

Seems to do ok for me though right now.

Looks awesome. Pick up an Optima yellow top :cool:

I know next to nothing about fwd, but i was in a group of people chatting this weekend at a primarily R meet. One guy said that he ground the outlets of the pipe a bit to remove some of the restriction. Seems like it was a fairly easy thing to to, no noticable butt-dyno increase, but a bit quicker spool up.

Might be worth looking at, unless yours is one of the plastic ones that the new Rs are supposed to have.

[Bricknoob]

You got a leak in the trunk?

I've thought about that... not really enough material to remove to make a noticable gain. I could cut and weld something better in... but really in the scheme of things it works fine.
