Currently testing a K&N air filter, lets see how this goes.
Already had an issue with the install.

Sending back the K&N due to issue with the rubber part quality. I will be getting another one as a replacement from FCP.

I am also looking into a VIVA Maf upgrade for the tune http://www.vivaperformance.com/maf-upgrade-kit-volvo-5-cylinder-turbo-engines/

Your K&N filter will not fit your upgraded MAF

Could you point me in the right direction for filters that fit that?

There's this one, you need to choose the size per your MAF: http://www.vivaperformance.com/high-flow-intake-kit-volvo-s60r-v70r/

Kind of expensive for an air filter that is probably not any better.... because air filters really only have marginal differences anyway.

Dry flow filters are way better for turbo cars than oiled ones

*update * returned the K&N . Going with the standard dry flow because I am upgrading the MAF next for a full 2.5 tune

Working on the Snabb OTE charge pipe with synapse DV .

This has been an ongoing project. keep finding parts that have been modified by the previous owner and need to be replaced to make things work.

Currently after having the R in the garage at my moms for a month while waiting for a part that I didn't realize I needed, and then for Christmas break to happen so i could install it. I am stuck in a similar situation ..where there is now a gap going from the lower charge pipe to the forward end of the car. The silicone I had wasn't long enough or of the correct fit . It looks like half of it is snabb silicone and the other half was another brand..

Anyway a fun image of my current predicament

Status Update

Good news is everything went well with the DV install. I'm just investigating and replacing all my vacuum lines to ensure that the R is ready for a tune.
Some of the pictures from the work in progress for the DV and some of the vacuum lines being replaced

I need to replace this part and both lines. I have 5mm silcone for this :
Lines both need to be replaced (see thumb) and the white part (evap). I am still trying to figure out what this is and where I can buy it.

I installed the DV, This is a more recent picture. The R is garaged due to a dent on the hood and passenger side fender. A neighbors tree branch broke and hit the car, not even in a storm.

Before (hood slightly ajar as I was just working on the engine), And after (left) the scene of the branch falling, and (right) after it was cleaned up. Damage to the wiper, wiper arm, and the fluid line leading to the wiper, Passenger Fender and hood. Shes garaged until the legal situation is worked out to avoid any new damage.
