:460: :460: Holy sweetness!! The cold air intake and plugs made a noticable difference... and the sound of the intake :grin: whooosh. Next step chip upgrade and exhaust.

Intake was encredibly easy to install.

Plugs took longer. Had to re-wrap some wiring that Volvo does a horrible job of shoving under the plastic cover. That plastic gets too hot and just breaks to pieces. Make sure to vacuum the top of the engine block before removing any of the spark plug caps. :beer:

OH yeeaahh, helps to let the engine cool some time before hand as well. Newbie mistake :blush:

I went with the Eurosport tuning for the plugs and air intake. I used to get 19mpg but now it is just above 22 mpg. Double check that the plugs are gapped correctly. The air intake through eurosport is easier to install than the plugs too. :beer:
