SOS question - small water pump for aftercooler has stopped working

Question for those with the SOS kit. There is a small water pump that sits behind the front bumper & is awkward to get to & is linked to the after cooler that has stopped working. I've had this happen before & it was just a bad / corroded connection but I am off to Italy from the UK next week & will be doing a lot of driving over 9 days and don't want to have any hassle. Does anyone know what type / model / make of pump it is or an aftermarket one that use to replace the SOS one?

I would just upgrade if you're going to replace it. I replaced my stock Johnson pump with the Bosch pump used in the SVT Cobras when I upgraded to the larger heat exchanger. It's also much more quiet.

I went with the same Bosch pump bought from Frozen Boost but I kept the small, original heat exchanger. I did not see much, if any, of an impact of the larger (1,200 lph) capacity with the smaller exchanger.
