Yeah, don't buy one. They're extremely needy with maintenance. And just wait til you need a new clutch.

Not to mention Chase averaged about 7mpg in his while he had it. Obviously it's not the most economical car, but he said he couldn't enjoy it because every time he put his foot down, all he thought about is how much gas he was wasting.

Dat sound doe 

I'll have to get some actual pictures of them some day but I have a trek 4300 disc I bought new

And a GT force I bought second hand that I'm rebuilding

It would be a bit of a drive but I would really like to come down and see what it's all about one year, maybe this will be the year.

Hey boxpin when you decide to sell that other set up let me know, It may work perfectly for what I'm doing

I could be totally wrong here but if pressure is a result of restriction wouldn't having more pressure as a result of a new intercooler be an indicator of higher restriction, rather than greater efficency?

Yeah that's the way for sure. What I did worked nice and was cheap but I missed out on a lot of potential power

Well speaking from my own experience anyway I did a straight flange 19T non billet and it was nice but wasn't a big enough improvement for me, now with that said seeing how matts car moves with the billet 19T and 9 blade you can get them working pretty good, but with that said you probably also spend what you would on a T3 set up

Not bad, what do you have In mind, 20G?

I really like the way it looks! I got a little confused though so just for clarification are you still running the 18T?

Nice! Looking good

Hood latches are looking good! Thanks for the info on the water pipes, doing it in the car won't be as issue for me as the head is completely off the car at the moment so I should have plenty of room to get the pipe out. I'll watch for an earlier model year one then anyway, I'm assuming I will need one from a turbo car for the turbo connections, there's an S60 NA in the wreckers by my place that I was hoping to get it from but maybe I'll just get the pan and cooler etc and get the main pipe later. Thanks guys

Perfect that's exactly the Info I needed thank you very much

I was wondering if you could help me out quick with your oil cooler mod you originally started this thread with lol. I'm looking into doing it on my 96 850 and had a few questions. I'm assuming this wasn't an RN engine you did it to as otherwise it should have had it already, so what did you do about the stock lines that leave the engine to go to the rad/cooler, do they get re-routed to the cooler on the pan or do they get blocked off? I'm a little confused about the assembly, I was under the impression that housing was part of the pump assembly. As far as parts, I would assume pan and pickup tube, cooler, lines, rear water pipe turbo lines, and all the seals, but what about the oil pump or water pump? Is most of this stuff bolt on? Just want to make sure I won't be getting in over my head if I want to try and do this. Thanks

Looks Great so far! I was wondering who posted that picture on facebook. 33psi eh? Not too shabby lol

One thing I will say about the 10 valve I had, It was the best sounding 850 I ever heard

Looks awesome! Are you still using the stock tranny? How's it holding up?

Man this is so cool! I had a Renault fuego turbo my grandfather gave me that he had owned since 84, I know it's not even on the same level but it is so cool to see this regardless. Cheers,
