I found the part number that you were looking for. Refer to the other thread.
It's small, just slightly bigger than the size of a cigarette-box.

P.S Have any of you guys with turbos ever considered doing a propane powered turbo?
[right][snapback]83804[/snapback][/right]

I'm presently trying out a pair of strong magnets that you attach to the front of the car. Apparently they react to the magnetic field of the earth and actually 'pull' you car towards the poles.

You have to ensure the polarity of the magnets is correct before you start your trip otherwise they will actually start pulling you slightly backwards.

The salesman told me the magnets are only 50% effective on cars with conventional engines (i.e. facing the front) however, he told me they work perfectly on most Volvos because the north and south poles of the magnets are complemented by the layout of the east-west engine in the 850.

It's been a bit windy around here lately so I'm not sure if these magnets are working as well as the salesman said they would.

So, I'll have to exercise a little patience - perhaps they work better going downhill!

where would the propane go? into the turbo? why? would the car be propane powered also? crap, at least i could get the bbq up to speed faster. :grin: if you mean to speed up the turbo, i had seen a couple of guys who ran nitrous like that, they would use it to power up the turbo and to cool the incoming air, not as a power adder, that didn't make sense either, to me. maybe if you could tell us what program you were watching piece so that we could google it. i am still trying to figure that one out. and volgrrr, i heard about the magnets so that you could latch onto the semi in front of you, you get 237 mpg that way. of course, you better make sure that you are going in the same direction as the semi in front of you :banana: road trip. look kids, kansas! again! woooooohoooooooo, okay, no more sniffing at the exhaust vents.

Cool you found one haha. I think it was on speed channel and they were doing it on diesel trucks. It was several years ago when I saw this on tv. It made the truck wayyyy more powerful. Hey bear. If you want a phone with a good camera get a sont ericsson k790. All the pics I post on here were taken with it.

I got the box out, drilled the holes. Used a small er bit and made more holes. I could feel an increase (very small) in higher speeds and with the throttle fully open, but I didnt get the sound I was looking for. Also I was wondering how do you hook up that silver tube in the back to an after market open e
