This looks really good without the powdercoating. Either way it's a nice piece.

i would imagine you just know the amount of coolant the system requires, fill it up, and keep an eye on the level. It doesn't look like there's any type of gauge.

Im going to offer a coolant level sensor option. Its a simple on / off switch that controls it.

Yep if you can incorporate a visual gauge level, or atleast a sensor level, it is a very nice looking product :cssNET:

just came in the mail now, i got the first production one, so we're still working out details on it, mine in my pic s the same one in the pics from OTTP's site, it is a non completed model, i requested mine to come untap'd for the coolant line from the head to the tank as i wanted to do it myself, since ima tap it twice, once for the line form the head, again for the line for the turbo water return, im installing it tommorow

mine didnt come with a cap as i wasnt patient enough to wait for them haha, so i went to a local autozone and bought one, no biggie, i hate chrome so ima remove the label and paint it all silver, and leave the level red

how do you tell how much coolant you have in it? is there a clear window or something?

if you dont know how to check your coolant you shouldnt be moddin' :lol: we can all look inside a tank to make sure its good, if its empty u got a problem, if its sitting above half ur good...but if thats much of a big deal i think they might be able to do something with a 90* bard to thread fitting, tap one on top one on bottom and run a clear tube between them like this
