Frank is a great guy to deal with. It sounds like a BOV when you let off the gas. The sound is kinda cool. Power... I don't really feel a diff to be honest. I think it's suppose to give you 8 Hp at crank so how the hell can you feel that. I think CAI really are suppose to RETAIN Hose power not add Hp. It feels abit slower in lower rpms but abit stronger from 4k on. I will post a video later on
Jusr Installed my Eurosport Intake!

Are you referring to this kit: http://www.eurosporttuning.ca/...60-en
Don't take this the wrong way, but it seems to me that intake would suck hotter air than the stock airbox which at least keeps most of the engine bay heat out. "R" Kelly's CAI IMO is the best intake solution yet. I wouldn't doubt your car making LESS power with that setup due to the hot air it is sucking in.

S60R/V70R 2004- Performance air filter kit. The performance air filter kit replaces the original air filter and air filter box in order to make the air flow go as straight and as simply as possible into the engine. Cold air - being denser - shows improvements in power over warm air drawn from the engine compartment.
Anyone else

after looking at picture and reading statement in bold...
zigger, you would have been better off with a J&R/BMC high flow filter and one of the supplemental air box feeds.
The problem with that set up is your are still only getting 12 sq in of cold air from the front intake, which is not enough to feed even stock turbo boost. So, while you may have a filter that can suck in lots of air, the only other place that air can come from is out of the hot engine bay. Hence, if you measured, you will find that you now have hotter intake air temperatures.
So, more air, but hotter, so probably a loss in power, especially when starting from a stand still, where engine compartment (and all the air around filter) will be very hot.
Something you could do is add something like the CAI that Jim Lill inspired, that would blow more cold air directly onto bottom of filter. You would still have heat soak issues from a standstill, but would have two sources of cold air blowing directly onto your open air filter.

| It's because you don't have the filter contained in a box directly connected to the intake piping, thus exposing it to the hotter engine compartment air. Right? |

Re: (zigger)
That is the intake that I have it does make a lil difference, maybe like 3 or 4 to the wheels it helped my car spool alot faster then stock.

Re: (BOOSTED S60R)
Adding a BMC ($80) and CAI ($70) made mine spool up very fast also. And since high flow filter is sealed in stock airbox, no hot air can get in.
Do you have a FMIC BOOSTED? that would more than compensate for any warm air getting in I would think. That was how Sniz's car was set-up.

Re: (nikhsub1)
Don't be pissed. I own this, and have for 15,000 miles. I felt the difference alot after I reset the ECU. Then it trains itself to breathe heavier. Give it 3 days after your reset. You will be pleasantly surprised. And the sound is incredible!

Re: (MASH)
You know, that is a good point. But, you can do the same thing with a JR filter and just remove the top. Use some plumbers tape or some sort of L bracket to hold down filter.
Just an idea... it looks cool for sure.

Re: (BOOSTED S60R)
Looks like the classic Volvospeed hot air intake many 850 use
http://********************/smile/emthdown.gif
Just take the stock airbox and insulate it with silver insulation would
be better

Re: ("R" Kelly)
The intake made a very noticable difference on my car. I had to take it of one day to get a small service check done and the car was noticably slower with it back to stock. Mostly it spooled up slower.

Re: (nikhsub1)
Is it possible that it is because they don't make it but import it? Does this SAM intake look at all similar by any chance?

Also there is a shield below the filter and something to stabilize the inlet nozzle. But overpriced for bill of materials? Yes.

It looks like EST just photochopped the SAM out of this photo:

<edit> Oh and BTW $239 is downright reasonable. At one point I think they were selling this for around $379 USD. SAM lists them for 2680 SEK which ~ $360 USD.

| On a side note, I can't belive what EST is charging for this kit that is a pipe and a $40 filter??? "Your Price US$239.96", Seems a huge ripoff to me. |
