i have a question does a super charger run better on a low compression engine? i have a 2.0 turbo engine so its low compression they usually run 18 psi i bought it with no turbo i have how ever a mini eaton supercharger lying about and i would be handy at making a mount / belt arrangement would it run ok or would it need more/less boost think you see where i am going here ?

cold start sensors don't like thumps they are located just above the left hand engine mount
at the front off the block
they will over fuel until they get up to tempature
also as ryan said check the crank sensor as they are at the front just below the cold start sensor

My brother hand made the splitter He wouldn't be on the web a lot but if you have a link I'll get him to sign up Ah I see, very nice job he's made of it, looks right at home on the front of that. I asked about it on V3M and it got the seal of approval from everyone, see the link here: www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9792 it's only a small forum but dedicated to 300's and we're all a friendly bunch, would be nice to know more about it. he said he is a member on there

Is it me or is that 360 missing a front wheel nut? I think it's a trick of the light....plus it's a bit hidden behind the raised centre part where the centre cap would sit. Here you can see that all is good: i can assure you all the volvo wheel nuts are there the viva how ever
