Anton is our friend from Chile who has an affinity for Volvo’s just like us. So we thought we would do a feature on what he has done to make his S70 his own. Be sure to see the rest of the photos Anton sent us at www.ipdusa.com/pg-26/

“Basically, I bought that Volvo because there is 2 in Chile and one 850R and I knew that are very FAST Car with luxury equipment. When I bought the car, was Completly stock, Interior as New (All VolvoMaintance).

ipd’s new performance intercooler has a 30% larger core, all aluminum construction and is a direct bolt in -- compatible with both factory or aftermarket RIP kit intercooler piping. Featuring high flow & high effi ciency bar and plate core construction, the intercooler makes an excellent addition to Stage III cars and cars running larger turbos. The stock intercooler does a great job with the stock turbo, but as soon as you upgrade the turbo, you can easily exceed the heat shedding capabilities of the stock unit under high load runs, which can lead to a loss of up to 12 HP. Does not require the removal of the air conditioner condensor like some kits. volvospeed.com members receive special pricing on this item. Log on and check it out.
