Addition of intercooler.

[Boots]

Hi Folks,

I would like to intercool the D24T fitted to my 940 and wondered if anyone here could offer some guidance.

From what I can work out from reading forums etc, the following things will need to happen:

1. Source and fit intercooler. My vehicle appears to have the mounts already so no problems here.

2. Change turbo. I think the outlet duct points the wrong way. (Not to mention being drinking-straw sized!)

3. Change inlet manifold. Again the inlet duct is wrong for the charge air pipework.

4. Upgrade oil cooler to oil-air type. Saw this in a v8volvo post. Not sure if it's essential.

5. Twiddle various screws on fuel pump until a) car goes like stink, b) doesn't smother all behind in clouds of smoke.

If I could get away with not replacing the turbo, that would be good from a cost point of view. (I'm sort of prepared to entertain the idea of custom pipework??)

That said, it does take the current unit forever to spin up! Are there units available that would be more responsive but still fit on the manifold etc?

Does anyone in the uK know of any possible sources for the intercooler/manifold/turbo. I have been looking around for a few weeks now but haven't found anything yet.
(Presumably most of them are still happily working away in their original vehicles.)

Any advice on this would be gratefully received.

Boots.

P.S. I will post some pics of the current arrangement tomorrow when I've found my camera!
