CX Racing Intercooler

Post by johnrapier »

I'm in the process of installing a CX Racing intercooler kit on my 2001 V70 T5. The bottom mounts line up perfectly, but I'm running into issues with the top mounts.


It looks like the top of the intercooler is supposed to mount to the "ears" on the crash bar where the slam panel connects. The problem is, once I install the included brackets and try to reinstall the slam panel, the panel pushes the brackets back by about 1/4". This ends up putting a lot of pressure on the A/C condenser, which obviously isn't ideal.


Has anyone else run into this issue when installing the CX Racing kit on a P2 V70? Any tips or solutions would be appreciated.

Any chance the company that manufactured the unit should stand behind their product and provide you with proper hardware to install it? If not- send it back to them and install the original equipment.

Anyone else getting AI-Spam vibes off the above two single-poster comments? Seeing an influx of that lately..

Both spam posts deleted, users/IPs reported to Stop Forum Spam, users nuked. SOP in other words. Both were Amsterdam IPs, like 95% of the bots I've dealt with have originated from for the last ~4 months. I've never seen a concentration like this.
