Default Supercharger cooling improvements?

I'm looking at trying to upgrade the cooling system in the SV8 in anyway that I can, does anyone have any recommendations?
The most common upgrade grade I've seen is the Bosch 010 charge pump, if anyone has done that, how was the installation process?

Yes, I've done that, its quite easy. Just take the front bumper off and its right there and the RH side. The main issue is making sure you get it wired the right way around. The rubber housing that holds it on needed a bit of adjusting for the size of the new pump.

You can prevent loosing all the coolant by clamping the hoses.

There's a thread on it here:

In that thread they had to make up the connector from the pump to the wiring harness, but mine came with the pump connector wire with some free tails so I just chopped off the harness connector from the old pump and replaced the wires in the pins.

It sounds like it's a fairly easy and straight forward thing to swap out.

Want to make sure this is the right one before I purchase it

Youre in australia so I hope that price is equivalent to $130 us. Or else youre getting ripped off. But the number looks correct
