Sell the Vortech after cooler and buy A/A.
Chromeyellow, what size tank are you going to use, and where are you getting it? I am about to do the same thing as you. I have a shurflo RV pump I think it flows around 4 gallons per minute. I will just use that pump when I move everything to the trunk.
You can use the stock the Bosch pump. The pump would need to be mounted back at the tank though. That way the pump will 'push' the water through the system rather then having to pull it.
i have the stock vortech coolant tank,
so the 5gpm pump will push but not pull this amount of water as long as it is mounted at the tank.....i ma thinking about going w/ a rule pump it is half the price of bosch and has a 3 yr warranty.

thaited: aftercooler is alot easier install for me and i got a good price on it, i alsodont have to worry about losing boost.
why?
How did this turn out?
Much more simple to install and it's more street friendly than the after cooler. The after cooler is good for track though.

Have you ever installed an aftercooler? Mine was pretty darn simple to install.
Yes, I helped my friend installed his Vortech SQ, and after cooler. What sucks was we have to move the battery to the trunk (extra work). To the OP, he will have to install the tank in the trunk (extra work also). Don't mind me, I'm just lazy.

My battery too.:beer::beer:
yea i got the battery in the trunk now...slowly coming together but im not sure if i want to run the lines the length of the car.
You talking about the line that goes to the tank?
Ever heard of HEATSOAK?? :dw:
You're still gonna lose boost.. Hate to break it to you.
