eventually sometime down the road I am going to do this. would having a 2nd heat exchange, AND this extra reservoir introduce too much coolant into the system and cause a strain on the intercooler pump? I would hate to do all of this and then have to upgrade my pump as well.
Then again, if it breaks, i can always upgrade. it's just that $$ is always the determining factor.

hey man, they guy is going to go out and buy all the stuff and hand assemble and ship it to you ready to go, $160 is not a bad price. not every1 can spend the time waiting for the sealant to dry, cutting holes, etc. it's like labor... in essence, it's a paid favor. if people want it, they will buy it or make it themselves.
on a side note... DAMN i wanna cool my car and get the ottp stage kit, the funds r rollin in, not much longer...

12 feet of hose, not 5.
i dont use 90's anymore. the things i use are $3-4 a piece
i dont use sealant. i use an epoxy, $6-7
shipping is typically $15.
how about the hole saw bit, the dremel used to finish various parts, as well as little other things here and there?
i also have to box it, buy the tape, etc.
you being a dick for no reason while making yourself look like an ass, priceless.
i hope you go into threads for buys on intakes, exhaust systems, or many other products and bitch about their cost vs price. you obviously are a very ignorant individual if you think it costs $200-$300 to build an intake and $400-$600 for exhaust. welcome to business.

Coolant tank-$7.99
5 Feet of 3/4" hose-$5.99
Hose Clamps-$5.00
Two 90 Degree Elbow Connectors-$5.00
Sealant-$2.99
Shipping-$8.00
Labor- 2 Hours
You Charging 160 for something that costs $35.00 to make and Ship-Pricless
Thats some funny sh*t
but yea this set up looks super easy to do. the hardest part is finding the right size coolant tank that will fit. just pull the stock coolant neck out and run the two hoses you have to the new tank. tada so you get more coolant making it harder for your car to heat up. I dont see why its so hard for some people to understand.

You guys are ******* retarded, I bought the kit and it was money well spent.
I would not want to put that together and epoxy the tank and cut the holes, mess with the clamps cut the tubes fit the connectors ect ect..... Like stated above, I dont have the time to be honest to go out and get all this and put it together. Plus the quality at which Stu put everything together is far better than what I would ever do.
160$ is nothing for that, and if thats a lot to you, dont mod your car, or try and do it yourself which I bet you would fail at.

Hm. So you think it's hard to drill 2 holes in a tank, and screw fittings in, then seal them?
It takes a 10 minute trip to the auto store rofl. Some people.
Wow. Does your dad mod your car?
