AndyF did a charge cooler many moons ago. Don't think he supplied them but at least tested it on his car. It was an STI cooler from a classic that was made into a charge cooler using an aircon rad to cool the water.

There is a thread lurking on SN somewhere!!

Cheapest way to a chargecooler is one of an early Legacy quad cam, is was good enough for the 400bhp group A car after all....

Pace do a water air hybrid for a LOT of money, or there is the common PWC one that crops up on a lot of cars....the key is to get enough water flow (Bosch make pumps for most OEMs, the same pump is often sold as a bypass assist pump by the likes of demon thieves etc as part of the EWP packages) and enough cooling from the radiator.
