funny because the non hi-po volvo engine gets a better intake plenum than the hi-po ford model maybe?

Heh, was trying to work out a way to steal your rims.

Now I'll have to look at the other side of the car

Apparently the RS intake plenum can have issues when cars are modified...a number of people replace them with aftermarket ones (eg Mountune).
The engine internals of the RS are completely different to Volvo and for that matter the Focus XR5.
My RS, however, will remain essentially unmodified.
