Well, I have heard it could give you up to 20% more power by cooling that
air, but I do not know of anyone that has done this on a 1.6 or 1.9TD.  If
you don't get an answer on this list, it most likely has not been done.
Someone must have tried.  I do not know where you would put the intercooler
radiator, let alone all the tubing.
