intercooler removal

if you remove the intercooler setup, pump coolant all of it and the car beeps and tells you ou have low coolant because nothing it there, does it then limit boost at all or go into any safe mode settings?

no ideas?

With HP tuners you can turn off the signal for the pump all together. That should help your problem.

Are you emptying the tank on the right of the car? If so.. thats the radiator coolant..

The I/C coolant is stored in the filler neck / lines / heat exchanger.

The reason i say that is because the "low coolant" has to do with the Actual radiator tank, not the H/E system.
