Turbo intercooler

[ajc106]

Hi gents any ideas on the best way to clean the inside of the intercooler turbo change coming up as i know have it back from refurb thanks

[Wobbly Dave]

not much of a refurb if they don't clean it for you?

I think he's had his turbo refurbed, and wants to clean his intercooler. ;)

Remove intercooler from rad pack.
Buy a bottle of gunk from halfords - rinse out with that. Re-install.


Or not worry about it. All intercoolers have a tiny hole in the bottom corner to allow the excess oil to escape.

Thanks for the reply gents one more thing is there a gasket between the exhaust manifold and turbo can't seam to find one on volvowebparts found the one for turbo to downpipe any part numbers would be helpfull thanks

[Wobbly Dave]

no - that's why volvo manifold t3 stamp has the raised ring. no gasket required. I have a jap manifold if you want?

Sure it was the other way around, later cars got the gasket

Hi dave whats the difference with the manifolds any performance gain

[Wobbly Dave]

Jap manifold will flow (nearly) as well as an S60R - and is cheaper. Given that you already have the turbo off - seems sensible to change it if you have the opportunity

This is ready to go - you will need new gaskets
