Seen 8inch one mounted on top. I have seen them on Ebay and in Repco too by memory. But as Roofy kind of implied, not really needed. Unless you do sand driving then it would be of some help.

you can get a craig/davis 8 inch fan through auto barn. I had one on my gu111 it fitted snug around rubber boot. in saying this I found it of no use. egt;s did not change. also the fan it self restricts air flow causing heat soak. if you have the money get a bigger ic.
