I know how much a new one is, approx £2000, not sure about a used one though, have the option of a repair, but thought I'd check to see if someone had one that they had removed after an upgrade that they wanted to sell.

As a data point, a couple of months back I was quoted $3K for a new unit from Sunset. At the time only 2 units in dealer stock nation wide.

I offered to buy one from Mike at blowsix to test against my stock intercooler after he touted his bar/plate design. Deal was if his was 15% better I'd keep it, if not he'd take it back.
Haven't heard from him since...
Some of these larger intercoolers like the cargraphic one actually lose horsepower compared to stock.

how would you gauge your 15% better? 15% more flow or 15% in temp drop or 15% hp??

Got to be 15% drop in temperature, the improved/worsened flow will impact on this number after all, and the hp difference would be too difficult to measure.
The effectiveness in cooling can be measured quite simply, so simply one wonders why every intercooler manufacturer doesn't test their wares back to back with stock and others

For anyone looking for an uprated intercooler





Porsche 993 Turbo uprated intercooler by Schweizer Raceparts - BRAND NEW

This is a new and unused Schweizer intercooler for a Porsche 993 (911) Turbo. It has an 86mm deep, 4 series, matrix for the absolute maximum cooling performance - it is the biggest Schweizer do.

You will need an intercooler like this if you want to tune a Porsche 993 Turbo above 520bhp or so... and it should be good for 550-650bhp when used in conjunction with other modifications (it obviously won't produce this extra power unless other engine work, including remapping, is carried out).

It was bought for 1800 GBP plus VAT - over 2k - hence a realistic reserve price. If you know what one of these is, you will be able to grab a bargain.
