Intercooler question

Can I fit an intercooler to my 1.6TD and if so is it worth it, does it make much of a difference, and has anybody done this, and any advice on hoses and source of intercooler and mounting details. Somebody told me Diamondhell may have done this?

I know they were fitted on some of 1.6Td passat and it does make a difference, exactly how much more power you get I wouldn't like to say. I seem to recall someone on the old forum posting on fitting one on T25.

Yeah, I've fitted one.
Out of a MKII Golf GTD. SB or RA engine code.
Chop the end plastic moulding off and mount it up in the N/S quarter, behind the tail-lights.
Motorbike fan will improve the airflow.
Bit of steel tubing well welded will see you right on the pipework - don't be tempted to use anything that can expand (like maybe contertina rubber hosing, as a theoretical frinstance) or it rather defeats the object of the turbo or intercooler........
