They are v70/s60

I take it you are going straight into a 300ish BHP build with it so you can use those injectors. You are going to need suitable size turbo, alloy intercooler, 3 inch maf and chips to match

What going on with the radiator/intercooler. Looks like the wrong intercooler is fitted. I have spare standard 240 intercoolers about

Looks like the wider A/C intercooler, if it fits it fits haha.

I sold my unwanted aluminium A/C intercooler to someone fitting it to a 240 and he just trimmed that slam panel lip a bit and it fits fine then.

looks more like a 940 ac intercooler bodged in, it is a real hate of mine when the right parts are easy to get hold of

The hoses should be at the top like this
