I was wondering if I should order one of these aswell, and use it instead of teh t fitting. Same as the t fitting and can hold and withstand 150 psi. Wouldnt need the vac line tips, I dont think.
A regular "T" will do just fine, but if you want to.

Here are some pictures. Hopefully they will help you.

*In this one you can see the whole big picture of everything. See pictures below for closeups.


*In this picture you can see the "T". Also you can see where the boost gauges PVC line hooks up.

*In this picture you can see where the PVC boost gauge hose and power wire are coming through the firewall pass through. You see the rubber gromet and the two lines running out of it into the engine bay.

kewl thanks, so heres my pic edited:
In this pic(right behind where you took your pics, the big black thinkg in the botton center is the upper ic) Red= vac line T Green = van line connectors and Blue = pvc - boost sensor(not actually shown but just to demonstraight)
Is this the correct place to do this at? or am i looking at the wrong part.
Also as you can see, that gromet is in use on my vechicle.

on the install directions it says to put the t connection inbetween the "pressure regulator" and "serge tank" is the spot I marked in the right place?

about that speed tuning ecu chip, how hard is it to install? I took a peek inside the ecu box in the enigne, all i could see where the two metal ecu boxes. Does the speed tuning ecu simply replace one of those?

Very easy to install.

1. You take out your ECU box.

2. You send that ecu off to Oliver at ST USA.

3. He sends it back to you.

4. You reinstall it.

You mean the PVC line? It is in the pics. You just can't see the second "T". It's on the same line as the BOV is connected to.

yeah i think, this guy on volvo speed who is helping when i actually start the installation said:
"Find the three vacumn hoses that are going out from the turbo and find the one that goes to your intake manifold. Splice into that vacumn hose and use the T-fitting there" So would that line be the one you pictured?
