I found a dime/nickel sized hole in the tube that runs from the air mass meter to the turbo. Looks like oil has rotted it out underneath where that other hose to the intake manifold runs. Probably the original pipe. Anways, its $217 list CDN from the dealer, but i can probably get a better price on it. I made a temporary fix using electrical tape and duct tape http://********************/smile/emsmile.gif Must say it did make quite a difference in performance, guess i have been driving like this since I bought this car in April. I also noticed there was oil all over the short 4"-5" long hose (with 2 hose clamps) on top of the turbo. Should I replace this as well? Where is this oil coming from? The car has only 187,000 on it. Only being a Volvo http://********************/smile/emsmile.gif

Also, would it be a good idea to wrap that foil insulating tape around the turbo/intercooler pipes to slow the degradation from all the engine heat?
