Your '96 is a powerstroke so it is a DI not a idi.
You can get a cooler from either a '99-'03 Superduty that has a 7.3 or you can get one off of a '03-'07 that has a 6.0. The 6.0 is a bit thicker and more efficient. Look in my H2e link in my sig for some pics.
The tubes will have to be slightly modified but not too hard of a job

There are kits that can be bought for about $580 to over $600 that come with all of the tubes and connections pre-made. They are Banks kits without the cooler.
Get a 6.0 cooler and either buy or make some tubes. Some turbo kits come with them but that is a whole nother price range.

Keep any eye on Ebay for intercoolers. There are usually a couple on there and you can get them for a pretty good price. You might even be able to find everything you need from the seller and he will cut you a deal.

Depending on your the price you could probably have a welding shop do up the pipes as well...

BadDog, That is a great deal on that kit. It usually costs $600 or so without the cooler.

Check you local scrap yards, My guy here doesnt have any right now but he was willing to sell the whole IC setup tubes and all for $150, and since I do a lot of business with em he was gonna give it to me for $60-$75, I was gonna try to get some for some of the other guys on here too, as they get em.
