Im back! 200

Well, because for some reason I hadn't visited Brickboard in quite some time my acount disapeared (heck, I don't even remeber the screen name). Well, I'm back so Hi everyone!

Down to buisness, while I was gone I sold my 69 firebird and bought a 2001 S60 2.4t (lpt) w/ leather, 17" alloys and a few other goodies. God I love that car! I still have my 87 240 dl, I actually sold it to my brother...though he has yet to pay me (so I still own the car). But, what really brings me here is I'm picking up another project. After 4 months w/out a car to tinker on I decided I have to get another toy.

So, I'm picking up an 82 242 Turbo 5spd for 250 bucks. The car is actually in pretty good shape, but needs a wiring harness and the owners are old friends of mine and they just want it gone. So, the wheels (perfect set of turbo wheels) are worth that IMO. What I'm planning on doing to the car is getting a new wiring harness first and gutting the interior. If it runs with just that thats great for me for a bit. I am already planning on rebuilding the motor but maybe with some luck I wont have to for a bit. I want to put an intercooler on the car, but I've noticed IPD isn't selling theirs anymore. Where can I get one?

What cam do you recommend? VX? Basicly I'm stripping the car down, doing a max suspension upgrade, looking to eventually be getting 250-300 hp from the car (heck, it has to be atleast as fast as my s60 is...for now when the S60 R is out I am all over that) and just something that is different. You guys have always been great and I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Heres a picture of my S60:
