Sorry, to expand :
Even though I personally do not own an SRT6 ( I have an NA ), I have read the forum enough to know that the first symptom of a failing intercooler pump is intermittent lack of power.
These pumps are normally good for 30K miles, then need replacing.
Use the google search feature and enter 'intercooler pump' or 'bosch pump' or 'johnson pump'

Visually it appears to be the right one but without the Bosch part # I can't be sure. The pump you want ends in 010 which supersedes our original pump. The 010 is a direct fit with no adaptation necessary. I'd ask the seller for the part number first to verify.

This is what I purchased.

You do NOT want this one, this is the same as the one that is broken in your car. You want the updated one and that is the one mentioned by Les (Velociabstract) Bosch 0392022010.
You can get them over here in the US for about US$105. Here's where I got mine but by the time you get it shipped over there wjho knows what the price would be, but 130 quid for what looks like the old part (
392 022 002) seems like a rip off.

Is the car downshifting to a low enough gear? Make sure you push the pedal hard enough to hit the button

Hey John, if you have never replaced the pump, then now is the time. The #10 Bosch is the updated version of the OEM #02 Bosch. It's the only one that is a direct replacement (i.e. P&P). The Johnsons and Cobras will need some modding to fit the OEM bracket and you'll need to rewire the connector. Plus some have complained that the higher flow rate of the Johnson and Cobra pumps may have caused some leaks. No complaints from those using the #10 Boschs, just nice sustained whine!
