one way check valves sound neat, but I think I've overengineered this thing enough. :-) I need to move on and finish the rest of this.
One of the reasons I went with such a large reservoir was partially to compensate a small intercooler by spraying more water/meth. This is now moot as I've had to abandon that PFS intercooler because I didn't like how I was going to have run the ductwork. So I decided to just do a vmount. Rotary-works sells a good starting point for a semi roll-your-own vmount.
Nice thing about this setup is I have a lot of room to run a cold/ram air intake into the turbo-- I had to change and make some of my own brackets because the stock brackets center the intercooler (I shifted it all the way to the drivers side), but no welding which is good. The radiator and intercooler already have some M8x1.25 screw bosses welded on to make mount tweaking pretty easy.
The radiator did not have to be modified and is designed for this mounting configuration and has a nice clean looking bottom endtank:
One more pic: I header-wrapped my exhaust manifold with some lava-rock type header wrap that looks like carbon fiber and then painted it with some silicone-based header wrap paint. I also drilled & re-tapped the turbo flange to fit the expensive OEM inconel studs used on the stock twins.
