So if I put the blow off valve on it and it ran rich when it went off what would that do to my car ?
Also has anyone done this before ?
Another question I have is how high of boost has some one ran with out destroying the stock engine ?
Thanks

2. Yes people have put BOV's on their Volvo's automatic and manual transmissions alike. There is no performance gain from them on our cars what so ever. They are there for looks and sound.
3. On a T5 17PSI to 20PSI is ok I would air on the safer side and go with 17PSI. Some people will tell you they will run 20 PSI all day and be fine. Ok that might have worked for them but it might not for you. Also before you mod your car be sure you have STAGE ZERO done and that means getting your car up and running the way it should be from the factory if not better. A better I mean silicone vaccum lines, silicone turbo hoses, which are better then the OEM versions. This is just a start with what is better then OEM. If your going to raise your boost do it the proper way with an ECU upgrade. Don't fiddle with a MBC.

Im not looking for a preformance gain just the sound. And my volvo only has 70,000 miles on it so it should be in pretty good shape still
