Product Information
Description
The original intercooler system in these models suffers from a few well known issues, number one being that it is severely undersized to provide adequate cooling of the intake air in moderate to hot driving environments. Once the temps begin to reach 70+ F, you can expect to experience dramatic cuts in performance by as much as 20-25%! If you have driven your turbo Volvo in cool winter conditions and noticed it makes a heck of a lot more power than it does during the warmer summer months, it’s most likely because the ignition is being retarded so much to prevent detonation due to extremely high intake air temps from the heat soaked intercoolers. The manufacturer attempted to address the issue by adding a smaller auxiliary intercooler at the last minute on R models, but in our opinion, the “ twin intercooler” design is actually less effective than the single intercooler on the T5 models due to the strange parallel plumbing design that is not conducive to airflow.
