Unhappy feelin kinda shaky, need oppinions

Ok i'm thinkin about buying this 240 i found with a sr20det swap already done. In the description it says its intercolled by a 15"X20" Volvo 9000 intercooler thats sandwiched between the radiator and condenser. Has anyone heard of anyone doin this. Is this safe. Ill probobly get a blitz intercooler kit immediately after purchase, but just wanted to see what you guys thought. The person also said they have a Bosch BOV which vents back into the system so it does not screw up the fuel injection. I was planning to get a Blitz BOV that doesnt vent back into the system. Will the blitz mess up the fuel injection that much, or should i just stick with the bosch? Thanks

the BOV is a mass air flow issue.
if you vent to the atmosphere, the air you let out has already been registered by the MAF sensor...which means the A/F ratio is already set to pump out that amount of fuel. if you vent out that air then the car will bog out because of too much fuel.

that volvo intercooler was a cheap effort to intercool the air. he probaly didnt have enough money for a real intercooler. if it works it works but probaly not too efficiently. a larger front mount will do the trick just fine

bosch BOV's are just fine...they all do the same job. release air preasure....if i were you i would save that money for a new fuel pump and boost controller

just my 2 cent
