Default Bolt On Coolant Tank for turbo guys

Noticed this bad boy at the local speed shop and thought, well maybe it will work. Turns out, no issues. Holes all ready on leading edge of hood lined up and coolant lines all correct accept the top one to the radiator. I want to say that was a 3/8's line, but it will slip over the stock fitting and works fine.

Overall I like it a lot better and it cost me 125 bucks.

Mine was unplugged prior to the swap and no check engine light. I don't remember taking it out of the tune either. Maybe someone else can confirm if it has to be removed in the tune or can unplug theirs to see if it tosses a code.

So to be clear, their is no provision for the low-level switch.

Good question, it appears to me that it is too far forward to do so but I dont know if it could be mounted back far enough that a CAI would fit. Whats the bottom look like I wonder.

Are those two bolt's the only thing holding the tank? Or does it have a bracket at the bottom as well?
