I found some of the older style ones on there.

I think this is the S60 pre facelift.

Looking for intercooler and exhaust recommendations.

What I think I want is a TME turboback - or at least catback if there are better downpipes available.

I was going to have a Tim Williams intercooler but I have not been able to get hold of him for over a month.. So I have given up. Is the DO88 one the best? Should I get the aluminum radiator at the same time?

That just leaves someone (have no idea as I can't get hold of Shem either!) to do the engine shim, and I haven't tried to track down Gustav yet.

Thanks

Shem has always replied to whatsapp messages, worth a try?

Thank you for responding. I only communicated with him over Facebook. Time I had his number and had spoken to him on the phone, text and WhatsApp but it all stopped and I can't get hold of him now.

Can you buy the engine shims? I might just get my mechanic that did the engine swap to do it.

I haven't watched this, though I did see another video from the same company somewhere.

I've just spotted there is a part 2 and 3.

Nice thread mate.

I've got myself the DO88 and the TME catback. Mainly because IC is plug and play and because the exhaust is road legal here.

Currently waiting for my custom 200 cell downpipe and later will contact Contrast for the remap. I would have done it with Shem (since I bought my shimmed engine from him) but communication speed isn't the best, I guess he's very busy.
