Volvo C-30 FMIC Install Guide
Procedure: Installation for the ATP direct replacement high flow/high density front mounted intercooler assembly on the 2007 and newer Volvo C30 / S40 T5 Model
Purpose of this upgrade: This ATP FMIC upgrade features a Garrett GT spec intercooler core that is much more thermally efficient in cooling the turbo charged air than the factory FMIC. The result is a drastic reduction in charge air temp which equates to a denser charge, more power, less engine knock, and increased engine reliability.
Note: This unit is designed to replace the stock unit, utilizes the stock mounting point through new brackets, but it strategically placed further forward against the bumper fascia. The plastic frame around the stock intercooler under the bumper cover is removed during the install.
Preparation for this upgrade:
1. Basic tools required including screwdrivers and torx driver bits.
2. Ability to lift vehicle recommended either through vehicle lift or jack stands in order to access lower engine plastic covers.
Installation Instructions:
A. Lift the hood, identify the mounting points and remove the front bumper cover:
1. Unbolt the two torx screws and unlock the retaining buttons at top of bumper cover:
2. Unscrew and remove the (5) screws on the inside of the passenger side fender lining then repeat on the driver side fender lining, behind the bumper cover. Turn the steering wheel to turn wheel/tire as necessary to expose the fender lining. Also, remove lower mounting bolt on each bottom side of the wheel well (as shown on bottom right)
