Default Radix Owners, Just a reminder
If you guys are in colder climates where freezing will occur.....the winter is coming....

PUT SOME ANTIFREEZE IN YOUR INTERCOOLER BOTTLE.
WATER WETTER WILL NOT PREVENT THE WATER FROM FREEZING AND SPLITTING THE INTERCOOLER INSIDE THE MANIFOLD.

Nope, that's how they get -20 windshield washer fluid. It's about 40%+ meth, a little detergent and the rest is water.
