I ended up getting Yokohama YK520's. They have a 520 tread life and a A;A rating for temp and traction.
Do you guys have any suggestions to air pressure I should run? I'm running 36 in both the front and the rear, although the computer said I should be running 41 in the back. Is that true?

Sounds good. I looked online and said loaded they should be around 40, correct? I'm planning on doing that for the ride back home.
so after putting the MBC back in, I still cannot build adequate boost. What else could be the problem? The BPV is still good. Could the intercooler have a crack somewhere? Could fuel also be a problem? Perhaps my FPR is bad? Could it be fuel related?

The intercooler could be cracked. Have you tried holding foot on brake and building boost and having someone feel around the hoses for leaks yet?
I would run 36 max loaded for the ride home.

Well I will look at the waste gate tomorrow. I made a small pressurizer that could be used by a bike pump and a lot of the rubber hoses are good, so no cracks. I was on the bottom and I noticed that I had a small hole or leak somewhere on the bottom. So I patched it up with some duct tape for the time being. If I was looking at it from the front It would be on the bottom left hand of the intercooler. Is that hole supposed to be there?

One thing I do not like about my 850 is something I knew before I bought it would bother me... The window switches being in the center console. I put everything there and no that I have an 850, everything is on the switches. Not to mention the fact that I have been putting things there for about 25 years.
So, to try to cure this situation, I believe I am going to try to install switches on my doors, like the rear doors have. Do you think this would be hard?

Sorry... just being a smartass. That window switch in the center console thing that European carmakers love to do has always bugged me, too... my Mercedes has them there, my old, old '87 Jetta had them there, and even the Saturn L- series (basically a slightly Americanized Opel Vectra) I'm fixing up as a fix it and sell it car has them there... it's a Euro- Quirk that kind of needs to go away...

Easy way to fix this... get an S70

My keyfob remote isn't working anymore... any ideas? I checked the fuse and that's still intact.

Do you have a Dealer close? They can tell you if there is a signal coming out of the remote or not. They have a tool they can set the remote on and press a button and if the tool beeps the remote is good.

I'll do that then. I have a dealer about a half hour away from where I live in Bellevue.
