[QUOTE="466roller, post: 15371282, member: 161095"] Decided to pick up a Front mounted Ice tank from VMP and give it a try. I already have the triple pass HE and it works very well. My IAT2 temps have been 120*-125* on the way to work in the morning (25 mile drive/ 85*) and about 125*-140* on the way home (95*). There are two ways of running the hoses for this set-up. I decided to just install it in place of the standard reservoir tank. I figured this is likely the way most will install it. After I test it this way I am going to change the flow path. right now it goes Tank, Pump, H.E., I.C back to Tank. Obviously this isn't the most efficient way when you switch to an ice tank. The most efficient way is Tank, Pump, I.C., H.E. back to tank. The tank includes a drain valve, drain hose with loom to cover it if you wish a few clamps and tie wraps. I've been going back and forth about this tank and a trunk mounted Ice tank. Cost is really what made me give this one a try along with the ease of installation and proximity to the intercooler. As far as the installation there are a few things you'll have to do. 1. Either move the stud that holds the drivers side of the fan over to the passenger side or install a bolt. The stud interferes with the tank. 2. Trim the JLT shroud, assuming your using a JLT intake. You can see by the picture the amount I trimmed. I think it turned out pretty well. [ATTACH=full]690773[/ATTACH]][ATTACH=full]690774[/ATTACH] Now as far as the hoses go the upper hose fits just fine. The lower hose will need to be cut shorter. I decided to get a new hose for the tank to pump connection. I found this hose worked pretty well. It has a preformed 90* elbow on one end that goes right on the pump. ][ATTACH=full]690775[/ATTACH] The finished Product. ][ATTACH=full]690776[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]690777[/ATTACH] So I did a little testing on the way home. Had it filled with just water and let the car idle. IAT2 was at 138*, I drained enough water to put 10lbs of ice in it and hoped in the car. Drove a short distance and made a quick pull. IAT2 was down to 108*. I thought that was pretty good given the car was pretty hot from driving and I only added a quick 10lbs. It would easily hold 15 and it already had a system full of hot water.
