So its not a dti 16v then?? It'l be the low blow X20DTL engine which dosn't have an intercooler.

If it's had an engine change im sure they would've kept the intercooler and pipework. Just go to a scrappies and get the pipework and cooler off of a DTI or make the pipework up and fit any old intercooler
