Please do say more....

Is that a factory IC that you can actually mount in the S60 and it's THAT BIG?!

I asked a truck company if they had damaged intercoolers.
I figured I could cut a piece of the core and build an intercooler for my Nissan project.
They came up with this brand new IC from an old Volvo truck (F7?)
The core is about 5 cm thick and buildwise it looks a lot like the spearco cores
I need to refabricate the endcaps if I want it to fit the Volvo.......

does the fun ever stop??

oh and, is that an actual picture of the IC standing in front of the car? or..

cause that thing is a monster.

So, how much is this "damaged" IC gonna cost you? As much as I'm used to doing all these 'custom' fabrication job, I'm sick and tired of this game. I just ordered the IC upgrade from Autotech through Carlos. Just try to make my life a lot easier. Custom FMIC might just give me that a little bit more HP, but with the effort and $$$...I'll just go for bolt-on this time around.

So far it didn't cost me any...
When the welding starts it might change very fast though.
The larger IC will be your biggest gain with your setup.
I heard a rally car went down to 1.3 bar of boost from 2 bar with the original IC while maintaining it power figure.
They pumped the boost up and gone were the rods....!
Did you ever measure your intake temp after IC on your car?
With the boost level I am running at this moment I reach up to 68 degree Celcius (154.4 F) at full load which is way to high.
It should be at least below 60 deg. C
First I have to look if this thing will fit at all

wOW, that looks like the type of IC they put on Skylines and Supras. I think that would look great on your 60.

Man, that picture of the IC in front of that S60 reminds me (at first glance) those natives in the Amazon who put a plate inside their lips and when they grow up their lips are HUGE!!! Heeheeheehee!

Don't tell me you have any first hand experience with those plates...?

Wow, that's huge. Keep us informed on that. That's great, not just because it's huge, but it's also a Volvo part.

No, I don't; it never caught on in Greece...
