All-Aluminum Intercooler

The do88 performance intercooler is a high-performance upgrade engineered as a direct replacement for the OEM intercooler in select Volvo models. Developed for enthusiasts seeking enhanced cooling and reliability, this intercooler boasts a significant increase in core volume, measuring 9677cm3 compared to the OEM's 3673cm3, making it 163% larger. Construction features an all-aluminum build with CAD-designed, flow-optimized cast end tanks and a carefully designed core. This combination ensures optimal cooling efficiency while maintaining the lowest possible pressure drop. Performance gains include a 10% higher airflow at 0.15 bar/2.18 psi pressure drop and a substantial reduction in post-intercooler air temperature, dropping from 69°C OEM to 38°C with the do88 unit under similar conditions. The increased capacity and improved airflow help reduce turbo lag and can support higher boost levels, especially after an engine software tune. Beyond performance, the do88 intercooler enhances reliability. Unlike the OEM intercooler's plastic tanks, which can be prone to failure under high boost, the all-aluminum construction offers greater durability. Installation instructions are readily available. * **Volvo C30:** Year models 2006-2013, Engine T5 (petrol Turbo) with codes B5254T3, B5254T7. * **Volvo C70:** Year models 2006-2013, Engine T5 (petrol Turbo) with codes B5254T3, B5254T7. * **Volvo S40:** Year models 2004-2012, Engine T5 (petrol Turbo) with codes B5254T3, B5254T7. * **Volvo V50:** Year models 2004-2012, Engine T5 (petrol Turbo) with codes B5254T3, B5254T7.
