I've heard that the early gu had a fan on the intercooler. I was wondering if there is somewhere in the loom to get power for the relay that is switched with the ignition on later gu's. Mines a 2011. Or where would other people suggest to get the power from. I don't want a switch I just want it to turn on with the car.

If you want to keep it all in the engine bay, you could switch a relay using the windscreen wiper motor ignition feed.
No need to pass anything through the firewall..
I got mine off the wipers and put in a switch

If you do fit one I recommend installing it as a puller under the I/C.
A 9 inch slim line fits perfectly and I had one on my CRD when I used to do a lot of low speed 'wheeling
It will mount nicely using the fins on the side of the 'cooler frame
I would not advocate mounting it using the bolts "thru the core" method
If you mount it as a pusher then a screen in the scoop so it doesn't swallow small stones then jam them between the blades and core and damage the intercooler is a good idea.
Easy source of ign switched power is as prev posted by others - the wiper motor
