Hey, I'm new to the forum and was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction.
I have a question regarding Air Supply APU's. Been trying to do some research online and haven't found any concrete site or index of what's out there. I know Honeywell, Garrett and a few others build them but can't seem to find a catalog or list of what they offer, size, cost, etc...
I'm trying to find a small one (between 40-60lbs) for a project I'm building at home. Any help would be great! Thanks :)

That APU on eBay - looks like a lot of accessories are missing.

If you want a cheap air producer look for a timex military surplus unit like the Microturbo from the Hawk and other aircraft which I've seen advertised for around 1,500 GBP as recently as last year (I think it was Everett Aero in UK).

It's also in your required weight range.

I think the only problem with the ex UK MoD Microturbos is they are usually missing the electric starter.

I sold some ex Indonesian Air Force Microturbo air producer cores for about Euro 1,000 each last year.
