[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 15978929, member: 9628"] I definitely wouldn't pay $375 for that by-pass hose assy., I thought it was around $250-$275 and to me that was high. Instead I shopped smart and picked up three of them at $99ea. new on eBay about 2 years ago. Knowing the price of that hose assy., I knew I couldn't get hurt at that price. I have already sold one of the three for $175, I am already ahead of the game. When I am finally done with the 2013/14 by-pass system on my 2008, I want it to look like Ford put it there. I have not heard any 2013/14 owner complaining about I/C pump failure, even on the 2013/14 specific forum, but I could have missed those posts. I do like your by-pass hose build for the Roush 3X, it looks like a nicely engineered set-up to incorporate that plastic tank. I think the key for any of the by-pass build is to have the tank at the highest point in the system, which it is (that is where degas air will naturally collect), and have all coolant flow/hosing lower in the system, which it is. As for more hp output.......Think of the many owners who have added a larger S/C (in some cases much larger than the 2013 TVS) and have done nothing more for the S/C cooling than adding a larger fanned H/E and a larger reservoir? My thoughts are "at a minimum" the system should updated to at least the oem TVS cooling level for updated cooling efficiency, and take advantage of deep pockets R&D from Ford...................But, all of that costs $$$$ and those updates aren't felt in the "seat of the pants".
