M111 stock intercooler help

I need help finding a part...

M111 Kompressor 2002 engine

I took off the stock IC and fitted an aftermarket one two years ago, but now I want to change back... but now I realize that I have lost the two retaining clips for the factory IC.

If someone has access to WIS I would really appreciate a print out of the related page so I can see what it looks like... from simply looking at the way the factory IC inlet and outlet slip over the notched rubber hoses I am assuming it is some sort of metal clip similiar to the one that holds the air intake accordian-like host to the air box.

If no one has access to WIS then a part number would help me out alot. I couldn't be bothered explaining this situation to my SA, I'd rather just give them some part numbers and say..."please order this in" and leave

Anytime you can use the stock intercooler you are better off. Aftermarket IC's are all poorly designed and you'll lose power. I know, I tried 2 different ones. Aftermarket IC's make more sense in turbo applications where the intake air is hotter and the wastegate can be adjusted to compensate for the pressure loss.
