Haha. Thanks but she's actually at 97,000 miles. Plenty of imperfections as I do use it as a truck. I try to stay on top of it though.

Great work! That's a great spot to hide the tank!

Have you noticed a quicker coolant temp recovery time between boost's with the extra capacity?

I was able to do a few hard WOT pulls Wednesday 0-125mph and a 60-125. It was 87 degrees out which was great. The IAT's rose 18 degrees on the 0-125 run and they rose 16 degrees on the 60-125 run. Temps settled back down to within 4 degrees of normal people within 40 seconds and completely back to normal within a minute. Very pleased. Not a huge change but with room for ice this will make a huge difference at the track.

On light pulls nearly half throttle 0-60 making 7-8psi the air temps didn't increase at all. So really happy with that.

Just an update to the thread with some install pics and routing to new ic tank. You can use the same routing with your stock ic tank.

Here's a view of the mounting. Radiator is out which provides a great view from the top.


View from under the truck.
