well finally managed to get the intercooler sorted on my S60R as it was absolutely shot & by the look of it it should of been changed many moons ago
I took everyone's advice & went for the more efficient FMIC & it was just a universal jobby from the bay but does do the job well & has totally transformed the car as it pulls so much quicker & harder in every gear especially at top end,
It took me a full day to rip the old one out & make brackets & cut & join pipes so not to bad & well worth it as only cost me just shy of £180 for the intercooler/2.5" pipe kit,2 reducers & a silicone bend.
Next on my list is a sports cat & maybes a new map!
Here is the old completely goosed one, No wonder I was loosing boost its leaking all over & also on the cold side where the TB pipe joins to the intercooler there was a huge crack that went more than half the way round that opened bigger as the turbo boosted & was spraying oil everywhere.
And here is a shot of the new one just after fitting & a quick trial run
