Stock 2.5 radiator, no coolant resivoir. He simply bypassed it and is using the stock radiator and made it work.

My big question, is where the hell does the BOV attach to? It looks like it's sitting there, ziptied to something that doesn't attach to an intercooler pipe....

That is SICK though. I'd like to do that one day.

I dont see the coolant tank either. but for the price it does not bother me. you could part that thing out for more than 2k easy if you chose to do so.

Wow, I gotta say I was expecting a hackjob but it actually looks very clean. The BOV looks like it has a hose going to the back of it.

I'd be worried about the tranny and the clutch.

Valeo clutches suck. And the Tranny will break.
