[QUOTE="ShadowDrake, post: 11740650, member: 46982"] Actually really good point about the restrictor. I forgot that my stock 2v restrictor caused the line to explode one day while the car was supercharged and still had the 2v in it. I replaced the line and didn't use the restrictor again. I didn't have any problems like that and the car saw lots of flogging. So it's unrestricted flow right now - and probably larger diameter hose than the OEM one as well. I probably have a minor issue here! On the flip side - the heat really does work awesome :P What about the merits of the OEM setup though? The OEM just has the passenger side head connected to the heater core (with a restrictor, I imagine), and the return connected to the back of the water pump. The reason I did the head cooling mod is that I was still having the same overheating problems before. I didn't realize what was going on initially and now I have the head tick in the passenger side head :cuss:... But it's just one more thing to be fixed when I do the forged build. I could probably rig up a bleeder system of some sort to thread into the crossover plug hole. That is if I do genuinely have air trapped in the system still. It hasn't boiled over since I have last filled it and it's been a couple of weeks. I'll see if I can't get some more air out of it. Got out of work late because I was swamped :( so the diagram will have to wait. [/QUOTE]
