gday
i own a 1987 740 turbo(Quick Brick), i was just wanting to know if u can put a POD filter on my car? it might be a silly Question but ive looked at my air filter box and there seems to be a pipe coming from the bottom leading somewhere. im not sure if it is hooked up to the turbo or not, im a but wet behind the ears when it comes to turbo's, let alone volvo turbos. and is there any cheaps ways of getting a little bit more horses from my car, not that it needs it but just little things which can help. love driving my volvo, looks good at the school car park next to nissan pintara's and holden commodores.
thanx in advance
brownie.
p.s.im from Australia so my 1987 740 might be ur 1985 model, where a bit behind.

    skip the pod, get a boost controller 700 1987

    The #1 cheap & easy way to get more juice from your car is a manual boost controller. I installed one several weeks ago and have enjoyed it very much. Here's a thread on how it works, etc. Be sure to get a calibrated boost gauge, and make sure all your basic maintenance is up to snuff before you raise the boost.

    As for the pod/cone air filter... Volvo's turbo airboxes apparently flow very well. I've not used a cone filter, but my guess is that unless you install the cone with a proper heat shield, it will not do much for performance... but it will look cool, and you'll hear you turbo noises quite a bit more, and your wallet will be more aerodynamic.
