I have a 98 t5 and I want to put a cold air intake on it. But I don‘t see anyplace where I can route it with out having it routed under the suport beam for the motor. I have a 3in inner diameter 3 1/2in outer diameter pipe that I‘m running. Can anybody help? I don‘t mind doing some minor cutting. I don‘t have the tools or the knowledge to weld anything so it can‘t be any major moddifications. I just need a pic or something showing where the intake is placed. Another sub question. Their is another hose that connects to the origanal air box. I don‘t know if it sucks or blows air. Now that hose connect to something that kind of resembles a turbo but I don‘t think that the turbo can be that small on it. Well Thank you for your time. NEED HELP.
1. Cold air intakes are pointless for turbo cars. Turbos don't benefit in the slightest from the denser cold air, because a turbo compresses the air in the first place. 2. Even with a short ram intake, you're not going to see more than 2-3 wheel horsepower, and basically no change in mpg or any other type of gain. 3. Your best bet, if you chose to ignore the above two facts, is to buy a kit for your car, rather than fabricate your own.
It is NOT possible to bleed brake cables, or cables of any kind. Sounds to me like you have no idea what you're talking about. Brakes are critical. Be sure to have someone inspect your work.
If in the course of a repair, like rebuilding a caliper, the system [not just the bleeder screw] was open, then yes. Note, ABS requires special bleed procedures, read S/M. Power flushing, recommended by O/M schedule, should not require bleed afterwards.
I'm in the auto industry and I help people with car issues. Your Volvo will not benefit from a cold air intake, unless you are using a refrigeration box. The reason why is that the air entering the turbo isn't going to be much colder if comparing an aftermarket system to the stock setup (unless you're refrigerating the air. You also won't get much more flow. You may even disturb the air flow and get a reduction. If you are looking for more power, try a freer flowing exhaust. You can also go with a boost kit (be careful to make sure you have enough fuel pressure and flow) and of course a chip. Be careful you don't mess with the smog system or you'll fail the smog test very expensive repair. Good luck! Greg
as far as bleeding goes its the same rules for abs or regular brakes. good luck
