That sucker costs about $200 and about half a day or so to install because i will have to pull the blower and intercooler back off to get to it. I think there is a higher power working against me here

Battery has been removed from AUX location and reservoir has been fitted into place (THANKS NXRICKY FOR THE RESERVOIR). Intake plumbing has been reinstalled.
A closer look at the reservoir.
Sorry for some of the PICs being blurry. I test fitted the intercooler on the manifold and it looks like it will be good. Tomorow i will get the core mounted as well as the heat xchanger and plumb everything up. The pump was 22.5l/hr @15kPa, does that sound right?

22.5 L hr. = ? 5.94 gallons a min. Not sure if thats a lot or not.
Your welcome.

I thought about that too, but i said the heck with it. I got the rail wholesale so i saved a few bucks. Thats definately what it was though, stupid thing cracked right at the joint. I broke it the rest off the way off trying to remove the FSU line. I got everything off and now im just waiting on the rail to come in, hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday. I left the rail on for now so i dont have any junk fall in there, buts it ready to just pull up off the manifold.

Here is the actual pump specs from the label.
http://www.pasadenatownhall.com/inte...pump_specs.jpg
I cant tell if that is 22.5 l/min or 22,5 l/min or what that says. Cant tell if thats a comma or a decimal point between the 22 and 5.
EDIT
Found the specs online, its 22.5 l/min or about 6 gallons per minute. Is that a lot? Seriously, i dont know much about pump flow and what is considered a lot.

If your heat exchanger tubing is larger than the intercooler tubing then the water will be flowing slower through the heat exchanger. You can set up a bypass to control the rate of flow if you think its too much. Loop the outlet of the pump back into the inlet with a valve that will allow you to throttle the amount of bypass.
