Has anyone fitted one of the intercooler kits from eBay on a 200 or 300tdi? I have been looking at a cheap way to upgrade the intercooler as the discovery specific ones at £400+ are out of my price range and have used one before on a Mazda RX7 but it had a much wider space to fit it in. from my measurements the space in front of the radiator is 760mm wide, 110mm deep and 300mm high if it is not go any lower than the radiator but could go lower if needed. On my 200tdi I will need to move the two horns but I there is plentyh of places to move them to.
I think this one should fit and give room for the pipe work

But there are a few larger ones which could fit with modification to the end tanks which I can do as I have an ac tig welder but I am not sure whether there will be any benefit to going any bigger.
this one would need the pipes on the end rotated 90 degrees but would be as big as could possibly fit in the space and as the pipes are on the same end till make connecting it up simpler

I was also wondering if there would be any benefit in fitting a fan to the intercooler, it would be activated at full throttle but I dont think it would do anything above about 30mph so Im just wondering how much use it would be.
cheers
