Hi guys, since I've had my car the coolant catch can on it has been the Home Depot plastic model. And when I switched over to a manual boost controller, like a dummy, I installed the coolant reservoir right next to the exhaust manifold, and this happened:
Well, I thought it cooled back into a working coolant overflow tank, but then the car started overheating and I went to add coolant, it nearly took the whole bottle. Obviously it is leaking from somewhere. So I want to eliminate the reservoir as an issue.
I'm going to pick up either of these
Link: Mishimoto Universal
Link: STM's own made for Evo VIII
I like the Evo model for the welds and overall look, but also for the level indicator. Only problem is finding a place to mount it.
So... Need your help on:
* Mounting placement - Where is a good install position? Does height matter? Recommendations? And share your placement if you have a pic
* Install tips - Operation & reliability are priorities - Is it ok to just bolt it on there and fill it up? Is there any checks I should do?
