BogMonster Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Anything will "fit" with the will to do so but not easily in this case - the pipes are on opposite sides on a Td5 instead of both on one side on a 300, so will be a fair bit of extra intake plumbing required to take the pipework from the right hand side of the intercooler to the intake on the left side of the engine. A better all round solution if you want to upgrade would be a proper one from Brunel/Allisport etc which is intended to fit a 300 in the first place. I don't even know how much extra cooling a Td5 one provides but while it is bigger it is nowhere near as big as a full width one from the aftermarket suppliers.
