I have one you can have for £100.  I removed it ages ago as part of weight saving. I first removed aircon radiator to get more cold air to intercooler and removed the compressor and pipe work as further weight saving  :happy2:

That sounds like it might be a good option! What year car is it off? Think I read somewhere that they changed the design/supplier at some stage due to the failure rate?

Is it a Sandem, mine maybe faulty but is a Sandem? I'd be interested in it if he doesn't take it.
