At a geuss ide say it would have been the £123.99 one 2.5 universal one, looks good for the money but just remember the pipe work will be increased quite alot and that the original volvo intercooler is large and flows pretty good, what reason are you wanting to fit one also what is your budget as black beast has a few which are a drop in set up to replace your original set up

Nothing as yet, I noticed the lack of rings so I flared the ends before fitting and I did double clip some of the pipes just incase, as for improvements, it spools up quicker but I don't know about BHP increase as its not been on RR since fitting, but as with all new bits it feels faster but that could be all in the mind.
