I would venture a guess that the 180HP engine will be a non-intercooled version of the current motor. If they want to offer it at a lower cost they have to take some hardware out, just retunning for a lower power level does not save any money and removing the intercooler and associated plumbing is the simplest approach.

Chrysler did this before with what they used to refer to as turbo 1 (2.2 or 2.5l non-intercooled 150hp), turbo 2 (2.2 intercooled 175hp), turbo 3 (2.2 16 valve intercooled 225hp) and turbo 4 (2.2 intercooled with VNT turbo same 175hp as T2 but special turbo for lower rpm torque) motors.
