I checked it yesterday :) your 9-5 is in my favorite list, very nice and clean 9-5! And why homemade BoV? It's easy, becouse of price... original 50mm Tial cant be bought in CZ, so only way is ebay etc., price of BoV ~208? + postage 16-40?... its enough for me now :) http://www.garaget.org/mypage/gallery_i … ge=1830755
Oh...500Nm without destroying the gearbox? Thats good/lucky. But it´s still quite un-necessery because it´s falling so quick. Must feel like driving a diesel? I think it would be bette to stay on 350 and let the power come with the RPM:s instead. Better feeling and much more harmful to the gearbox. But you have a new setup now so....
Chrome rod - It's a subframe brace under engine - Made by Taliaferro USA. I will not use it now, car is really low and I'm afraid about the collisons on the roads...
