Indeed I did. Seems to be working well so far...still testing and looking for a small tank to fit in front of the fuse box.


It is sharing the engine coolant overflow tank at the moment which I don't think will pose any problems since the radiator and intercooler surge tank caps are pressure caps and should prevent each system pulling coolant from the other, only pulling or expelling to the main overflow tank. <$10 at Home Depot for the supplies.


What I really want is @Edelbrock LLC to come up with a larger volume surge tank! Maybe V2 or a retrofit.
