I have a 1989 AQAD41A Volvo Turbo Diesel. I have noticed that when I remove the air filter, the motor runs so much better and faster. The turbo really winds out the way it is supposed to. It just seems like the air filter is so restrictive.
The only concern I have about running it without the filter is, the way it is set up (from previous owner), is the blow-by is tubed right to the air filter so it is sucked in. I really dont understand this. It dirties up the filters quick and they are not cheap. I already made a catch can in line too.
Any advice much thanks.
