There are a number of options, I think one guy on here had one for sale that was off a saab? There are the ebay ones, in a number of configurations. Pretty much any intercooler is going to be a custom setup unless you could get ahold of all the stock stuff from a european D24tic... I'm planning on using the intercooler from a 740 turbo gas model. It looks pretty big and was obviously in the same body car so it should fit up front without too much trouble. I'll post up pics of the setup when I do it.

Well, how exactly will you get the piping to fit from the turbo to the intercooler and back to the intake manifold with such a small gap between the turbo and the manifold? o.O I can't seem to see how to make it work.

Answer is to buy intercooler and move radiator back.
It IS doable. Volvos original intercooler really dont kick ass,
its pretty pathetic showoff.
Ofc its not a bolt on to fit unoriginal, but
the difference with ebay/chinese-volvo cooler really pays the upset.
If you want i can search and post the results when they compared intercoolers together.

So, i still give my voice to ebay-chinese one.

Are you saying the original diesel intercooler was crap, or the gas one? I have been around on the volvo forums and didn't run across to many complaints about the stock intercoolers not being effective..

For hooking up the intercooler, you can clock the turbo housing a different direction and do a silicone 90 degree fitting on it to run to the intercooler. To go into the manifold, you can remove the boost dump valve and clamp a inlet pipe there. The stock inlet will have to be caped. I'm going to have a plate of a aluminum welded over the stock inlet. The easy way to do it would be to use a D24 NA manifold and plump your intercooler inlet to the stock inlet, its in the same location as the dump valve but much larger. I'm planning on cutting off the flange for the dump valve, boring out the opening, and having a small section of 2" or 2.5" (depending on what I come up with for an intercooler) welded to the front of the manifold. Pretty much duplicating the NA manifold.

both intercoolers.
First of all they wont last much more than 1,0bar(14.5psi)
, after that theres high change at the intercooler just "blows" to pieces,
plastic heads just disengages from cell.

Also there was about 10'c (50´F) difference after intercooler on
gas temperature, so more power again.

Well, you new turbo is better at 15PSI that the stock one at 25PSI because the new provide a bigger airflow. About the intercooler setups, I posted a few. The intercooler used in the D24TIC is the same used in the 90+ B230FT, that intercooler start to loose "power" at 12PSI and "explode" at 18PSI, you can find more info here: http://www.rsphysse.anu.edu.au/~amh1...ntercooler.htm.

Good to know, I was about to buy one off ebay from a gasser 740. Wish I could fit one up front from a diesel truck like a powerstroke or cummins. A little too big for the car I would suppose!

I need an intercooler that will hold 20psi. I'm thinking that should be no problem with the low restriction exhaust housing I have, the drive pressure shouldn't be much and the EGT should be good and low. 20psi is well within the efficiency range of my T4 compressor housing. I'll have to post up some video, it really sounds cool when that turbo spools compaired to the stocker. Now you know something is there!

your new setup spools up faster or equal to the stock turbo?

Mm i got really wild idea..
You know, there is plenty of space on left of the motor, just
battery and thats it..
Idea would be to buy bonnet from some junkyard car of same model serie,
then add intercooler diagonally to that free psace, cut on the spare bonnet an rift where it would get cooling air and make scoop there, and to underside of intercooler add radioator to suck air on low speeds..
Who knows, this would prevent for moving radiator back
