Plastic end tanks for the loss! I know some asshats will claim, "I ranz my Volvo fmic at 65psi on a 35 arhhh and it didn't leaks!" but the bottom line is that metal>plastic when it comes to intercoolers. You can get a Starion fmic for $50-$75 and it's all metal, fits well, and is a fairly decent core for low pressure set-ups. ---- man, I have a Chinese fmic I'll sell you for *** cheap if you're desperate. Bottom line is that if you're hoping to run any sort of real boost; you're going to hate the Volvo fmic. Unless you love boost leaks, weirdly routed piping, and hacking the absolute ---- out of your bumper and support.

Those things are ------- massive and just a chinese IC on ebay or like the other dude said. Find a newer saab since they have nice decent size fmic or even one from a Neon SRT4 or even a Evo. They are nice oem IC's and the prices are fairly decent. Otherwise since this is HMT, just hack off a section of it and break out the JB weld.

dude, you spend more time dicking around on this forum and you could have already tried this ---- out. If JB weld can cure diabeetus then it can fix your fail of a front mount. Just do it and report back. :1
