I have one. Order direct from forge motorsport though, the ones on that site arent made for the AGU engine (i think yours is?).

if you get that one (still assuming you have an AGU) then you'll need a blanking plug for the smaller outlet on the underside and you'll find you'll have to swap your DV into the other socket.. its no major hassle but with your DV moved you wont be able to get your engine cover back on without cutting the corner off it.

yep, they're made specifically for that engine type.. thats what i used on mine because forge weren't making an AGU specific one back then, so i had no choice. they did send me the blanking plug for free though! :grin:
