Too rich fuel/air update

Yes, it is the Garret T3. All turbo hoses are new except for the one between the AMM and turbocharger. This one is over five years old, but it is a Volvo hose and it looks and feel new. Indeed, Volvo hoses seem to perform best and last longest. Where this hose attaches at the bottom of the blow-off valve, the clamp was not sealing perfectly. This is a curious looking clamp with a brass screw that goes through the clamp and pushed a piece of inner clamp lining perpendicularly agains the hose. The leak was not much, only and occasional and brief rise of 40 rpm when I blew propane gas at a point in the conection of the hose to the valve. Apparently, turbocharger pressure opened the gap and let intake air escape, resulting in the too rich fuel/air. BTW, I remeber you insisted in the air leak diagnosis. Thank you and I take my hat off to you. The hose between the intercooler and the aluminum elbow atached to the turbochager shows a bit of oil coming from that aluminum elbow. Other intake hoses, like those and aluminum pipe between intercooler and TB are dry inside and free of oil. I will keep checking for air leaks for a while before put the dawes Device back in the car. I will report. BTW, you also helped me a lot with some headlight questions. I think I have found a reliable and low priced source for new European market headlights, turn signals and so on for 200 and 700 Volvos. I will post about it soon. Best regards.
