that sucks, if u dont have the mount you wont be able to mount your i/c pump, but everything else should be fine, dont know if youd want to drive it without that tho, ud have to stay out of boost at least

you can drive it.Just don't hit boost or it might have a little knock(never good).But you can def. cruise it without a IC pump.**** I ran a 13.7 with out a working IC pump lmao(didnt know until after the run)
