are they any good?
are they any good?
i would definately recommend one, it seems to be a good partnership for volvos across the range!
I've got one for sale if you wanted one. Only been in my car for 2 months and its got a lifetime warranty with it.
Made a reasonable difference to my T5, much smoother top end.:B_steerin
VT have worked hard in conjuction with ITG (who supply many of the F1 teams) to develop the filters for the T5s etc. Lots of testing and empircal data has been collected. Highly recommended I'd say.
Is there much to choose from between an ITg and a KN filter. I have a KN is it worth swapping ??:)
Hi there ITG/Pipercross is a foam based filter KN/JR is a cotton gauze based filter Both allow more air to flow, foam more so. It is known that paper filters flow as well as a replacement element, when new. But they clog up very quickly. Here's something I dug up in the past, luckily it's still about ! http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/filters_test/2/ Hope this helps ! I use a stainless OTT filter, lol - see my website. Take it easy Whitey

Andy - will the itg fit a 850? If so I'm interested. Geoff
[QUOTE=thunderace]Andy - will the itg fit a 850? If so I'm interested. Geoff[/QUOTE] yes it will mate.
Fit one you wont look back
I got a K&N Filter for sale if anyone is interested. Sorry to hijack the thread :bud:
Fitted an ITG not too long after gettin my T5 and I must say it fits lovely, sounds a lil' different over standard and overall (I'm sure) works very well indeed. I would then recommend them to anyone wishing to buy n fit to his/her T5 in all respects.... ...however, I gotta just say they aren't the be all and end all;) I'll still be replacing mine with an induction kit (sorry ITG panel fans:sorry: ) as I still think they look better (bonnet up) and I love the extra noise they can generate:firedevil plus of course... ...I am also convinced that (working with my local power engineering hero/bud) it will see an increase in power, ready for future upgrades, and continue to help the car breath as the power increases. I will be experimenting with many cold air routing options (including SUBTLE bonnet venting) and am lookin to fit a Blitz Sus unit as they are crackin good quality cones:) Soz 2 get slightly carried away AGAIN but I felt I had to explain myself fully with why I am ditching such a good piece o kit, it is after all, the reason for this thread...the ITG panel-filter is top quality, tried n tested...:B_steerin
T5Slave Consider a Quickshift item to save you a few pennies ! I've got one and have compared it an SUS; SUS is better ! Chris

[quote=T5ER]so were`s the piccies of it then mate[/quote] It's still WIP m8, goin in on Thursday 2b finished:) I think I've probably said it b4 but when I do summit I don't tend 2 do it by halves. The induction setup is no different. We hope and plan that it will serve the car well when the future power mods take place, I understand the MAF can b troubled by some induction setups etc, we'll x those bridges as and when?! The car has a way 2 go yet, if I told ya my battery will b livin in the boot from around Thursday lunchtime onwards it may give ya an idea of where were goin with this ere Q car beast, 2.6 anyone??? Pics will follow, I promise:B_steerin :B_steerin :B_steerin
