So I think its about time to get a BOV for my 2.4l t5 s70, but i don;t know what kind of kit i will need to get it up and working. Do i need some type of adapter becasue most of the BOV;s i see dont say volvo on them. Could someone please help me find an appropriate BOV to let my S70 roar properly

 

For the adapter it will depend where you want to mount the BOV. You have two options.

OPTION (1): Mount it to your Upper IC Pipe. This can be only done if your Upper IC Pipe is made from Aluminum as you will need an Aluminum adapter to weld onto the Aluinum Upper IC Pipe. Then you attach the BOV to the adapter (Flange) and run a vaccum line.

This is my BOV that is attached to my Upper IC Pipe on my 1999 s70 awd.


OPTION (2): You can get a T-Adapter and attach your BOV to your Upper Intercooler Hose. This is done by cutting your Upper Intercooler Hose in half and inserting the T-Adapter into the hose and putting a hose clamp on either side to keep it nice a tight and so it doesn't leak. Then you attach the BOV to the exposed end of the T-Adapter and then run your vaccum line.

These are your two options. On a side note you may want to block off your stock CBV which is like a BOV but it isn't. This can be done by buying a blanking plate from IPD, or a few people on Volvospeed sell them as well. I also think QuickBrickMotorSports sells them. Once this is blocked off you can run the vaccum line that was running to the CBV to the BOV. And you should be set. This doesn't have to be done but it is a good idea.

As far as a BOV is concerned I recommend a HKS SSQV they are very nice and sound the best. I have a Turbo XS Type H-RFL which is known to leak.

Thanks alot for the info S70driver, but i do have another question and it may sound dumb, but from what angle was that photo taken at, im thinking engine location wise so im not to do something to the wrong pipe thinking its the IC.

Thanks

 

That picture was taken as a straight on shot, possibly a little higher then straight on.

Maybe this picture will help you understand more of where that pipe is.
