Indeed !
I shat myself
if it was 2010 i would understand, you did not know ...but its almost 2019 you should do your research prior to actually going to a MAC valve.
ShiftingLanes finally more walk than talk!
Haha sorry just wanted to set the story and frame up the whole car for those not familiar with us or the car or Volvos. Time to get to work. Gonna be a busy winter with the C30 and V70R once it’s out of the body shop.

Volvo videos ftw!
Notification squad?
@@ShiftingLanes Notification squad!!!
Yassssssssssss
Elevate is the way to go for casual T5 tuning! Good choice!
FYI, The TCV - Elevates, and a few other brands - sometimes rattle under boost enough to hear through the firewall. An easy fix is to zip tie the TCV to the vacuum lines instead.
Looking forward to see what the E85 tune does *hint hint wink wink*
Keep an eye out for boost spikes. This is a MAC Valve, and for some reason our Volvos really don't like them. I can't explain why they cause issues but I've seen it time and time again. Just be careful with it, don't want to see the C30 meet the same fate as an SR/VR that boost spikes and cracks a sleeve.
I'd seriously look into opening the top end and at least shimming this block before you creep into the 300hp range.
What valve would you guys recommend?my S40 T5 is in need of a new one?cheers
It's been a few days but the Elevste tcv has been working flawlessly.
-Chad
@@ShiftingLanes Yours may work flawlessly, which is great! For a lot of applications these valves are superior. I just shy away because of horror stories of a 30psi boost spike, then unexplained coolant loss and a cold start misfire.
@@qaza007qaza If you're looking for a proper upgrade, I personally recommend GrimmSpeed's BCS. They're meant for Subaru, but with a harness plug and a few minutes of work they can be adapted to basically any turbo application. If you're looking for a stock replacement, I used a Porsche Peirburg TCV (P/N 7.22908.03.0)
@@qaza007qaza Upon further review, it turns out the GrimmSpeed BCS is also a MAC built valve, just like the Elevate, and the iPD HD TCV. So, with that, your options are:
1: Factory Volvo Pierburg TCV
2: Porsche Pierburg TCV
3: One of the dozens of MAC built TCV/BCS valves available from many different companies.
I recommended the GrimmSpeed as I have had luck with those on both my brothers 2005 Legacy GT Ltd Sedan, and his 2005 Legacy GT Wagon. But Subaru's seem to like the MAC Valves.
next video: Why we put the stock TCV back on our Civic Type R Slaying Volvo C30
Enjoying the videos - pls make sure when you take the cable off the -ve battery post, you stop it falling back on to the post. You can actually see it spark at 1:46...
Love the way these cars look
See one at autocross every now and then
Type r killer, this will eat a civic with no arguments. Trust.2.5T ohb boy
Those TCV are always breaking on the Volvos 😢

Mac valve ,Bad move
The c30 T5 is much performance to a great price! Yesterday I pulled away from a golf R (300hp 4wd DSG) And my car is stock besides exhaust and modified intake.. Im impressed by the c30s stock performance and I drive a -17 mustang GT for track days..
Definitely following. The new one I put in last weekend has been working great but need more air flow
YESSSS
I just started looking at buying one of these right before you guys started this build, which is really helping fuel the fire for me to build one. I have been thinking of the s40 AWD conversion down the road too. I'm really digging the channel and the knowledge! My only request is I was really hoping for a test drive at the end of this to see if the car felt better since you suspected that part was already bad. Give us some more drives!! But yeah I think I found the car I plan to buy, finding them in manual is tricky .
Would you consider doing an old volvo project after this ordeal? Like an amazon or a pv or something like that. Would be real neat.
Hell yes. And it is in the plans!
No problem with Mac valve. Faster spool,holding boost bether/cleaner. Nice upgrade
Curious 🤔 will run elevate waste gate and bov/cbv?
Vinwiki Aston bought me here. Thanks ed. Also subbed. Always looking for more car content that's unattached from the reality tv drama stuff. Good luck beating the ugly civic beast
Thanks!
Thanks Michael! Appreciate it. Lots more good stuff to come. Cheers!
-Gregson
same here
And I am so glad I got the S60! Mine like attached to the airbox.
This is gonna be great I can’t wait to see the final product
Really no point in disconnecting the negative battery pole when you just lay it on top again, put a rubber glove around it
Cool! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to further updates of this Civic Type Slayer
im still rocking my s60r :D
Oh how times have changed when a civic is the car to beat lol
that boost solenoid loks the same as the one on my fiesta st. ive always had a soft spot for c30s and will get one
Man I fell for ya. Just took apart the stupid rear taillamp of m6 wife's XC90 as the led running lamps died due to moisture because I let it go to long. Yeah but fun.
Been looking forward to you guys starting work on the c30.i know how hard it is to film in such a tight spot just bit of advice on moving the valve.You moved it to the bulk head how far is that from its original position?and how do you reconnect it to the wiring as you have moved it?does it come with much longer wiring?would be good if you could show few more pics of the before and after.is it best going in from the wheel or underneath?got to get one for my S40 T5.
It is 100% plug and play. So all the wiring is Taylor suited for the relocation. It is about 10-12 inches from the original position which was literally on the turbo.
@@ShiftingLanes The reason it is mounted to the turbo is to keep the hoses as short as possible. The valve is a pulsating solenoid valve, basically it pulsate the pressure/bleed many times a second to control boost. The longer the hoses the worse the response and boost control accurancy is compromised.
Man your going to find out you want rubber bushings on the back and the front of that thing other then that great job man.
Got a 2007 S40 1.8f petrol, thinking about doing some upgrades but not sure what to do at moment. Cant wait to see the finished C30 and V70
I would strongly advice you not to throw any cash at a 1.8. It's a dog, same goes for the 2.4i. Not to be rude but that is the truth. T5 or D5 only.
I’m assuming you’re in Europe, try to find a t5 that’s the tune-able engine
@@trondklette1125 I agree with you Trond. I have a T5 and glad I bought it. I lucked out not thinking that the T5 is the best S40 as my goal was only to find AWD and something that no one else really owns. Oh plus it had to be manual too so no one else can drive it except a handful of people I can trust with a stick.
Hi, what symptoms would u get on your C30 if you have a bad TC Valve? Thanks!
I was getting minimal/intermittent boost.
My TCV failed like a year and a half ago introducing limp mode on and off (at about 145k km). Replaced it with stock but probably should have upgraded. :/ Loving the Volvo vids :) Exciting watching this thing start to come together. Any plans to upgrade your lines to silicone? That's going to be one of my future mods. The old lines are terrible. For us R guys that TCV is part #9465528. I was wondering if it might be the same part, not so (obviously LOL). Might be a revised part # though since your C30 is way newer than my car. It does show as an interchange with the R's. *Shrugs*
Edit: 6:20 I can't tell you how many damned times that's happened to me hahahaha. The Volvo engine bay is notorious for eating fasteners, never to be seen again. Lost in some dark crevice somewhere that is absolutely impossible to get to.without removing 400 parts (oh you thought you could get it with a magnetic pickup tool? Silly me...). :( Good bye bolt, screw, fasteners... good bye and good luck.
@shiftinglanes just bought a c30 R 2008 I have the head off right now bent valves do you know where I can get some intake and exhaust valves ? Plan on doing ARP Head studs and get to doing mods that intake you did should have removed the mount came out like butter I have vids and photos of my build would be cool to talk with you and the guys. Take care
The usual places... dealer, viva performance, rock auto, etc.
Would love to chat. Hit me up at @shiftinglanes or @chennedy83
As others pointed out, this was not an upgrade. These MAC valves are not good quality (they are actually rated to withstand less heat than the stock Pierburg valve), and they don't do anything better than a stock valve. You can say you replaced the turbo control valve, but you certainly didn't upgrade it. Even if the MAC valve doesn't fail, it provides no benefits over the stock one.
Why did Volvo put the TCV in the hottest part of the engine bay right next to the cooker...I mean turbo.
My S60R has it on the side of the air box.
Do you know what would be fun and interesting?
Having to changing an exhaust manifold gasket on one of those Dinky Toys.
It's hard enough on a V70 II (p3) I can not imagine how extremely hard it would be on a Dinky Toy when every cm and every mm makes a huge difference, but i guess that one day i will have to replace one of those and i will then find out exactly how hard it is.
Actually it's not that bad. 1.5hrs diy.
@@trondklette1125 i think that is about 30 to 20 minutes longer than what a experienced Volvo technician would do it in (if everything goes smoothly that is).
1,5 hours is not that bad diy, you must be pretty good with the mechanical things.
It would probably take me about 2 hours or more as it something that i haven't done enough times to feel comfortable with it as I only done it one time with help that is.
Great first mod. My OE TCV is still going at 160k 😳 do Elevate ship to the UK?
Yes they do. Just email them and they'll take care of you.
Rekon it will make about 215 stock with those miles
I can’t imagine you need 3" exhaust on that car other than a turbo outlet. A lot of V8 cars don’t need it.
It will be ready to beat the new type-R in 3 years!
I have a manual boost control valve
WTF, the music is too loud
Keep up the good work. I have a 08 c30 with 137k miles as well. Did you figure out the issue with the key fob?
What should I look for or watch out for when getting a c30 with 100k+
@@christianhudspeth3338 timing belt replacement, pcv updates
@@adamsnell2502 nice. I'll look out for that
That battery doing ok? 😳
What short- shifter are you going with?
Tbh right now that looks like a pipe dream. I've contacted some heavy hitters in the vvo community and there doesnt seem to be a company that makes one anymore. Viva was my last hope and they no longer have any of their inventory.
-Chad
@@ShiftingLanes go for a group buy and have them make more
My ears, they bleed at 5:19. Did no one check the editors work? Lol
People recommended this upgrade? They always get shit on from what i've seen.
Andrew Wiggins They don’t recommend it, since MAC style TCVs cause boost spikes in most cases.
@@michaelroshko7067 Except on a modded P1 it highly recommended!
@@michaelroshko7067 Yeah I was going to say, at least on the R pages everyone shits on them because all they do is fail and cause trouble.
I'm thinking about getting the elevate one because my TCV just went out. Should I get it or is there another performance oriented TCV I should go with. Also if I get the Elevate TCV what else should I get to help prevent boost spikes
@@RawShogun what mods should I get to help prevent boost spikes?
Audio in speaking parts is left channel only. Minor gripe but still
Got better as I watched more
Notification squaaaad🤘
Yeaaaaaaaaaa dude!
Guys, get a proper microphone, so we can here the talks without having to adjust the volume constantly. Also less face time on the videos and more car content please. Just do a voice over with some beauty shots or repair clips etc. Thanks for the interesting project!
Or Viva
Just put a mbc!
shit my pants @ 5:17
Still calling it a hatchback! 🙁 It's a coupé.
RIP Headphones users
I need to switch to elevate tcv cuz pierburg isn't cutting not to mention they offer a HD valve but it's similar to stock which I recently purchased about a year back and already the HD TCV failed 👎☹👎
Pierburg has actually 3 different valves for these. The best one is the first (it is gray in color).
I have a Mac10 valve as being installed here, but i have not noticed any differences.
CBV should be upgraded from the original rubber membrane to a piston/spring type.
Enjoy the clicking...
