Been busy again... New "Ram Air" intake and charge pipe!!!
Well, unfortunatly I haven't been able to come across a D24 NA manifold, and the stock T manifold is not the best setup for high performance with the sissy 1.5" inlet. Basicly what I did here was replicate the NA manifold since I felt the stock inlet was restricting me. Also the flow path of the NA manifold is much better under boost, with the air flow going directly in the manifold, rather than crashing into the top and tumbling around inside. The new charge pipe is mandrel bent 2" to match the compressor outlet. I cut off the snout for the old POS dump valve, and die ground it out to match. Since I didn't have a tig welder handy, I fabbed up a flange and drilled and tapped the manifold to bolt it down with. Here are the pics:
 Difference between the T4 compressor outlet and the stock inlet pipe that slips into the manifold.  My crappy connector showing how it was necked down into the manifold.    weld strip to keep the pipe from slipping out of the connector boot  Now its manifold time. After cutting off the stock dump valve flange and some die grinding:  Holes drilled and tapped, flange match ported and fitted:  Flange welded up with 2" pipe neck:  Finnished product, painted high performance RED!!!! To match my porno interior!!!   New intake setup! MUCH smoother and unrestricted flow path...    Not so much a difference spooling up, but on its way up from 10 to 15lbs of boost it really comes on hard now. I'll have qtr mile times tomorrow and video! Jason

They are pretty rare around where I live, that is diesel volvos in general. They seam to gravitate towards the coasts and I'm in the middle of the US.
I had some free time on my day off and started getting ideas, and thought why not! Jason

Looks great. How did you plug up the hole in the bottom of the manifold where the tube from the turbo used to slide in? You may eventually find that this is the best setup of all, since the D24 NA manifold may have trouble fitting under the 700 hood, and it has that big opening on the back that I would worry about when running big boost.
Now it just needs an intercooler... and injectors... and a manual trans... and a real oil cooler. Then you will have a pretty serious diesel hot rod on your hands.

So its not going to be problem. No injector changing needed by the way, or can you point me some thread which recommends it? Sorry little sceptism, but im curious to know if you really change injectors? I get the idea, with bigger nozzles you can feed more fuel to cylinder in less time than with smaller, but i havent heard anyone in finland had changed injectors, just liquid head.
