big volvo intercooler $25

I can get this intercooler for 25 bucks is it worth it? He said its the big 3 row one? Will it fit with some fabrication and has anyone else done this? Thanks.

Anything will fit with some fabrication. Get the measurements from the guy selling it and measure the space you want to put it in.

Is it one of those radiator sized Volvo 740 intercoolers? I am considering using one of those myself to have a FMIC and spare me the cost of a TII hood.

Is this a one time deal for you and only you or can you hook us all up with one of these $25 innercoolers? And if this thing is the size of a refridgerator, there will be a bit or turbo lag, but 25 bucks is a steal if it doesn't have any cracks or anything.

It takes quit a bit more fabrication then it would seem to need. But it has been done a pretty lot, and I have one that I may try to use, but I think the stock MKIII IC would be ALOT easier.


Also, they are pretty efficent IC's for the cost, and they have about a 1 PSI pressure drop from entrance to exit. I have graphs of efficentcy, and pressure drop that I will post when I get home from school today.
