Pretty much every post i've seen regarding that washer bottle has been a negative one, and that it leaks.

Mine never leaked....the trick is to not over tighten the clamps.

We finally had time to finish up our prototype washer bottle reservoir. This lightweight aluminum, low profile, custom reservoir fits in the unused space below the driver's side bumper support and will not interfere with any aftermarket fog lights bumper/brake duct openings, etc. It also utilizes the factory fill neck in the stock location.

The reservoir holds about 3 quarts of washer fluid, has internal baffles, uses the stock washer pump, does not require any rewiring, and definitely should not leak.

Unfortunately though, this will cost more to build than a $10 plastic bottle and a few laser cut brackets. Therefore, to avoid having to bump up the price of our turbo system, we'll be making this an optional item for those folks that need to retain the factory windshield washer system. We'll try to get pricing and a production ETA shortly.

I know it' winter, and probably really cold in Virginia, but has anyone experienced heating issues yet? I live in Texas, and during summers, it could get up to 110 degrees easily :/

sw20kosh · 01-03-2014, 09:58 PM

Mmmm unwrapping my xmas gift!

I must say. Everything looks top notch quality-wise. I was pleasantly surprised at how much thought and work went into making this kit (and packaging it up).

Every part comes wrapped in its own plastic bag with a label on it telling you what it is:

Can't wait to install it and take it for a spin! =)

@sw20kosh surprised to see you ditch the SC and go with a turbocharger.

In for a review

Are you using the standard GT3076R?

0 Issues. Although I do have the Koyo Radiator so a better test will be this summer on the track
