Absolutely nothing I'm afraid.

Norris Designs do a high flow Wing mount IC but there are probably only 4-5 of those in existence and they get passed around.

Everyone else goes for either a Saab/Volvo rad-mount IC (the budget option), an early Type 1 Apex rad-mount IC (the low lag option) or a bumper mount FMIC off of ebay ( the most common, put-it-where-it-can-be-seen option).

The most common problem people have with the WMIC (apart from it strangling the boost) is with the mild-steel mountings rotting due to the salt-trap sponges fitted to stop vibration cracks in the IC.

EDIT: Bizarrely, if you happen to have the mountings and they are in good condition (which they might be in a recently imported JDM car) I might take the mountings off you as they are the only part I don't have to put mine back to standard if I ever decided to.

The S14/a ones seem to be prone to getting holed for some reason. Don't know why.

It might be worht putting it up for £30 or something but I doubt you'll get your arm torn off. :|
