True. Although I've seen a Volvo with a 350k mile head. Volvo keeps giving free cars to the owner of the old Volvo P1800. Of course he holds the world record and just passes the other cars onto his family, and uses only Volvo genuine parts, and it's an iconic sports car, so, y'know... A little...

How close to t turbo/downpipe can I mount a dual filter setup?

UOA - ahhh fun stuff. Sort of beyond me at the moment, to be honest...

Yes I'll be the first to admit that was a super poorly worded post. Like, makes me look horrid. *ahem* I find it interesting because no other forum I've ever been on do random members actively promote the sponsors. Uusually it's just a little banner at the top, and maybe the occasional sticky by...

I don't have the time to put the recommended mileage on it to be honest. 6k miles before you see any results won't work on a car with so much blowby that it falls on it's face above 5 psi of boost.

Hey you live in Duvall? So you know John in Duvall? His family has owned a smattering of Volvos, he's got long hair?

Mostly looking for enhanced filtration. The car is a Volvo B230ft 2.3L ohv turbo. The stock filters are pretty good, on these cars. Think they're made by Mann. Definitely before I do this though I'd get a catch can. Also this car is going to have an engine rebuild, most likely, and so I'd really...

Alright well I'll give it a try. But I think you're dreaming if you expect it to fix a 40%/25% leakage problem. I don't hold any real hope. No 245k isn't many miles for this engine, but if it's trashed and abused and run hard it can be. Problem is, and why I'm really skeptical, is because people...

So looked up and did reading on auto RX if you guys think it'll make a difference on an engine with that much blowby you're nuts. And at $26/bottle, By the time it gets shipped and everything, I'm throwing 1/20th of an engine rebuild down a blown engine.

What a waste. What happens when a superior product comes out?

duh, there's a whole section already.
