Intercooler filler neck
I guess thats the right term for this piece of the system.
I noticed that before my car was put in the shop for a motor rebuild, this filler neck was always full, hot or cold, now it is empty regardless of temperature.
Which is correct? should it be full at all times or empty and just used to flow through? If it needs filled, is it just regular dexcool?
sorry havent had the car for very long, and its my first supercharged car.

No, you can get option B being stock, I would
What Im thinking is your system got emptied when it was being worked on. With that being said keep filling i up because their is air pockets in your system( thats why opt. B is nice to have). Keep filling and when full check to see any flow in the filler neck.

What did you have done to your car?
If the guys at the shop removed your intake manifold they would have nedded to drain the coolant from your intercooling system.
That said, if they just simply filled it back up when they were finished I'm willing to bet it's not 100% bled yet.
Add some coolant to it until it hits the fill line. Run the car with the lid off and see if the coolant is moving in the bottom of the filler neck. If it is, your pump is fine, and you will just need to cont. to fill with coolant until it bleeds its self.
