I spent Saturday afternoon re-routing my intake pipe on my T8 with FMIC
I've only done the turbo/compressor side so far..
as these pipes hang a tad low, so when I lower the car by -40mm they might/would be in danger of hitting speedhumps etc etc..
I needed a flexible top rad hose as well to clear the new intake pipe(thanks Mr Volvo)its from a 940 turbo, but is the same as a 850 T5 item..
the intake pipe is like before a mix'n'match from Saab & Volvo (9K & 940)
But on the down side I've had to loose the headlamp wash/wiper & move the 2nd horn to gain space for the intake pipe route...
but this could be classed as weight saving
my old intake pipe & rad hose
no horn & wash/wiper
route of intake pipe
