Is there any reason for the intercooler bypass?

[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16031943, member: 124025"] Here is a typical 3X tank. If my coolant level is the red area, please explain how air at the top of the reservoir will get sucked down almost 12" into the outlet tube and into the intercooler system? I think the real problem is the reduced i.d. of the inlet which probably produced more agitation in the smaller OEM reservoir tank. Did Ford change the size of the tank? No, they carried over the old unit and added a less restrictive by-pass hose. Super high technology there. If you think putting a bigger pump in the 13-14 and then running it at half capacity with insufficient wire size for the load is an engineering marvel, I guess I just don't get it. Ford designed a system that could handle 12 psi of boost and then programmed the car to pull 3* of timing at IAT2 temps of 125* and 6* by 150*. When you're raising boost by as much as 50%, your intercooler system is no longer capable of doing the job it was intended to do. Maybe I am going backwards, but I think that remains to be seen.
