    Sounds like what happened to dests one, was it along the fins or the line in between thats got the most damage? if your lucky its the line part so should be weldable.

        Would a place like allisport be able to put a new section in the middle might be cheaper alternative, if not sure they could weld it

          The intercooler can be recored, should cost about £70-80

          I'd be checking you engine mounts and snub mount in the meantime

                  If you've got it you might as well sort it out and fit it to future proof that part of the car for mods.

                          Serck in Bristol offered to seal up one I had with some kind of resin. I declined. Mate knew a good welder. Result one useless intercooler!
                          I looked at a recore and it was nearly as expensive as buying a new one. Pro Alloy quoted @£200 for the core although the cost of the labour was reasonable @£100.
                          Obviously if you know somebody that can weld alloy you might save a bit on the labour.
                          If you know somebody that can get a core for less than £200, tell me!
