Volvo XC60 Intercooler Replacement & Upgrade DIY (2010-2016 Volvo P3 XC60 3.0 T6, SI6)

►All modern turbocharged engines, including Volvo's 3.0 T6 SI6, use an intercooler. It takes the turbocharger's hot charge air and cools it, making it more dense and power rich. Replacing a crack-prone OE Volvo intercooler with a beefier aftermarket piece is sure to improve both power and reliability.

The original XC60 intercooler is just fine. It's compact and utilizes plastic end tanks, so it's easy to package and cheap to produce. Replacing it with a larger aftermarket intercooler will provide better airflow, further reduce charge temps, and prevent cracking, thanks to an all-metal construction. Pair it with some larger intercooler piping to make the most of the upgrade before pairing it with an ECU reflash.

In this video, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er Mike Hidalgo replaces the intercooler on a P3 Volvo XC60.
