Turbo Control Valve
hello guys idk if this is the right thread for this and i apologize if its not. but im looking for a Turbo Control Valve for my 01 s60. does anyone know where i could get one?
iPd has a really good Heavy Duty Turbo Control Valve. It's a little spendy buy very much worth it. I'd also recommend getting new silicone vacuum hoses while you're at it too.

Here is a good write up on turbo control valves and what they do:
wothrline.com/Cars_engine/HW/tcv__turbo_control_valve.htm
"Later I have experienced that so called High Performance TCV's are becoming more common.
This is a unnecessary component that wil cost money without adding anything to your car.
A TCV that is not behaving as the stock Volvo part may damage your engine.
Problems with boost control can be related to high performance TCV!"
I just changed back to my original as the ARD unit did nothing and the original actually seems to have more pep and smoother. I wasted a bit of time and money and wanted to relay as I tried to increase the bottom end on my T5 pickup like the GLT I had. Did no0thing, and the warning even from the supplier scared me. Stock all the way, for longevity I suspect.

ARD indicated all sales are final and they will not take the product back.
Its brand new, it works at least, just not as well as an original in my opinion, was a waste of 78 buck plus 60 shipping..
