do88 81-98 Volvo 740/940 Turbo (76mm Throttle) BigPack Intercooler Kit w/Black Hoses

This BigPack intercooler kit from do88 includes the intercooler core, a full set of black silicone hoses, and all the necessary mounting hardware to install it on your 1981-1998 Volvo 740 or 940 Turbo model equipped with the 76mm throttle body. This kit is designed to replace the factory intercooler and hoses, which can become brittle and leak over time, especially on higher-mileage vehicles or those that have been modified for more boost. A well-functioning intercooler is crucial for performance, as it cools the compressed air from the turbocharger before it enters the engine, making it denser and allowing for a more efficient combustion process.

The do88 intercooler core itself is significantly larger than the stock unit, measuring 76mm in thickness compared to the original's 50mm. This increased surface area and volume allow it to dissipate heat much more effectively, leading to lower intake air temperatures. Cooler air means more oxygen for the engine, which can result in improved throttle response, a more consistent power delivery, and potentially even a slight increase in horsepower, especially when combined with other engine modifications. The included black silicone hoses are multi-layered and reinforced to withstand higher boost pressures and temperatures than standard rubber hoses, reducing the risk of swelling or bursting under load. The kit also comes with all the brackets and hardware needed for a direct bolt-on installation, meaning no welding or permanent modifications to your vehicle are required.

When installing this kit, ensure you have a good understanding of your vehicle's intake system. It's a good idea to inspect your turbocharger and intake piping for any existing leaks or damage before fitting the new intercooler. While this kit is designed for a direct fit, always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for specific torque values and recommended procedures to ensure a secure and leak-free installation. Please note that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
