Hi all,

Been using a rigged-up clamp to connect my CAP to the turbo and it seals tight after adjustment for ~1 day. After that it loosens enough to cause a very minor boost leak. I have been chasing the cause of my 10# max boost so this needs to be paid attention to before I can move on to other causes. I've gone through the nightmare that is tasca's part finder and have had no luck finding the part number for the clamp. In fact, the diagram for the 'R' model's intake system that I found apparently doesn't even show up as the right CAP.

If anyone has a quick and easy way to figure this PN out, or can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

TIA

Did you lose your real one??

This looks like a good replacement...

This one may fit better. I don't know the exact measurements of the lip/pipe at that point, but I'm guessing two inches...which is really close to 50mm...

Here's a 2.5" one as well...

Thanks Pirate!!!!

Fenix, I lost the nut on the end to the expanse that is the engine bay. Couldn't find an exact replacement at the auto/hardware store so got a quasi-replacement that hasn't quite done the job.

MODS, not sure why the thread was double posted, feel free to delete the latter one.

I've lost more than a few torx heads to that. I'm sure the local highways are covered with them now

I would think it's a fairly generic part since lots of vband clamps came up on my search...trick is finding the right size

It looks like 983322 - #8 is the clamp you are looking for. Or is it #9?

I have an extra one from when I was troubleshooting a boost leak. Thought it was the clamp but it is fine. Happy to sell it to you. PM me your info and we can work something out, I'll look up the price I paid for it.

When I had a leak due to a bad clamp and o-ring the invoice just said "replaced damaged 3" vband clamp and o-ring" so I believe the clamp is just a generic 3" clamp

he would need #8 since he is a 04/05 with metal pipe and not #9 which is for 06+ which has the hose connecting the turbo and plastic pipe together.

So I've been hunting for one of these clamps and cannot find one that will work properly. I bought a 2.5" V-Band clamp from eBay that didn't fit.
Volvo themselves have no idea what the clamp is. Anyone have a link or place to send me for a direct replacement?

Im tired, and frustrated.

Mine was a 3" V-Band Clamp.

Volvo part number is 983322, here's a link to volvopartswebstore -- item 8, highlighted. Or put that part number into tasca and you're off to the races.
