    So I've been searching the forum for about 2 hours now, and I have yet to come across someone who has actually gotten this little reservoir to fit somewhere in our engine bays.

    I'm plumbing my intercooler setup tomorrow and would really like to use the one I have, but I'm having a hard time finding a good place to mount it! It does have a pressurized cap on it, so does it have to be at the highest point in the system for it to bleed air???

    For a back-up plan, I do have a regal windshield washer tank on stand by......it bolts up under the passenger side cross brace, but it's ugly as sin and would force me to delete my regular windshield wiper fill neck.

    So, anyone with any ideas???

    Hmm, I'm pickin up what you're throwing down........... seems like a bit more involved than what I'm equipped to do in the old garage, but I like the idea.
