2. To check if your Upper IC pipe is ALUMINUM. All you have to do it tap it with a screwdriver or something else that is metal. You will instantly know.

what did you do with the stock blow off valve?
what did you do with the stock blow off valve?
It is called a CBV. I left mine be. I am running both a CBV and a BOV.
You can do this what I did and or block the CBV off with what is called a Blanking Plate. Which can be bought from, http://www.quickbrickmotorsports.com/prod_blanking.html

to change the subject, their is an ECU upgrade here (s70 2.4T) and was wondering if you might know if this was designed for a stock engine or would I need ot buy more parts?

DON'T DO AN ECU UPGRADE UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING ELSE. Unless you don't plan on anything else.
I personally want to do more to my car, but I know money wont allow it. That is why I have an ECU upgrade right now with no supporting mods like a upgraded downpipe and exhaust system.

Also a BOV on your car wont add any performance, it is just a noise maker. Same as mine is.

Ok do what you want, but what I am telling you is to do the ECU last. You will be better off and also take full advntage of all of the potential power from all the supporting mods.

so after that and a ECU upgrade I wont really have any more money for awhile. AS fora full stage zero, I had the car check out and they siad everyhting was running fine(except for teh air pump), so will replacing working parts really help?

STAGE ZERO is very important. It gets your car up and running to good standards. You don't have to do it, but it is a good idea to do it if your planning on what you are planning on doing in the future.
I would at least do the SAMCO turbo hoses w/T-Bolt clamps and silicone vaccum lines.

Plugs
cap/rotor
oil/transflush - Oil and trans fluids are good
filter (oil) - Oil filter still good
hoses (the little vac lines)
samco hose kit
02 sensors - still good
fuel pumps - still good
clean injectors
clean IC/IC plumbing
Air Filter - still good
plug wires
Dunno what the other stuff is, but I had the car checked out by a volvo mechanic and firestone. Neither of them mentioned that any of the other things would need ot be replaced. I will check those hoses.

well thats the question I have, teh vac lines seem to have been replced. Since they are a differnt color. If I took a pic of teh engine would you be abel to tell em if you think they are stock or not? and yes my upper ic is aluminum, got confused since its painted black like all teh otther rubber hoses.
