MR2 AW11 Supercharged A/C Compressor

Hi all, my A/C compressor is leaking and i was wondering if anybody has a good idea about how to resolve it.
I have 3 options at the moment:
 
1. Get a new non-supercharged compressor and swap over the bits
2. Get somebody to rebuild the one i have
3. Source a used supercharged one that works
 
I personally think no.2 is the way to go but I'm open for suggestions

    Sorry couldn't resist but suggesting option No.4: Sell me the car, and I'll take care of it 
    Would love a supercharged AW11 as a daily    Any photos by the way?

    Number 3. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AW11-AC-compressor-4agze-/131655137975?hash=item1ea741fab7:g:1xIAAOSwI-BWQddb
     
    You probably already know that they are unique compared to the normal 4age ones as they have a rotation sensor in them. I'd buy that used one for spares or just to use.

    I will make a showroom page when I've taken photos and fixed this issue.
    Its the white/silver 2 tone paint as well!!!

    You can use a a/c compressor from the 4age, just need to change over pulley assy and valve body.  I have done this myself and it worked fine.  I replaced all the o-rings with new ones to suit the new gas while at it (plus every other o-ring in the entire system).

    if it's not blown, it sucks

    thanks feral for the info
     
    i have found a brand new supercharged one that was sitting on a shelf here in Adelaide and will be going in next week. Very fortunate to find it but the hip pocket will be a little lighter for a while...
