    New intercooler has since been cleaned up and lightly sprayed black again
    This has mate a massive difference to reliable performance. Car now holds the boost at 16psi to red line even when on the motorway where boost used to back off to 10psi after few miles of boost

    Got a 19T to fit yet but just concerned about the rods so going save up and get them upgraded first.i must say with larger intake off the R with the k and n fitted plus intercooler I've noticed a big difference in reliable performance. I also have a progressive water injection kit to install yet and larger injectors all on my work desk.

    Mate the boost gauge position is perfect. Really easy to see and read. I'm amazed ipd haven't had them made as it's far better then in a air vent or pillar. Really does look like a genuine volvo part now.

    I could get the black seats but just think the car looks too dark and dull. The cream gives it some light. The red looks odd in the pictures but real world it actually looks really good. Will give it some thought though lol
