i wouldnt mess about with it mate to be honest,they're stressed enough them engines,it wont take it mate,as said,go for a 200 tdi,might end up being cheaper anyway,cause if you stress that engine anymore,it will pop,then you've wasted ya money on an intercooler maybe,or whatever you were thinking of doing to it

I dont think they have an intercooler on the turbo diesel (i could be very very wrong though!) as if i remember they didnt add them til the TDi engine.
