    Received my bracket this weekend and installed it yesterday. Looks great. I did end up having to cut off that support as you mentioned and still needed to add some spacers to move the coolant tank up to clear the intake tube. I probably could have cut off some more of the support leg and maybe cleared the intake that way instead, but was plenty happy with my alternative method. Thanks again! Great looking product and got it to me quickly.

    I did not read through this thread thoroughly, I might be making a suggestion that's been made already.

    After installing the bracket a couple of times to get things just right on my motor, I eventually filled the two tank holes, on the bracket, by welding. Then I taped them M8. It is so much easier to install and work with when you don't have to deal with the nuts on the underside. Less tools, less parts, easier.

    Onto my suggestion; make the two holes for the tank, the tap drill size for M8. Then the buyer can either drill it out for what ever screw clearance they want, or tap it.

    Maybe its not worth mentioning, maybe its the morning coffee talking, if nothing else this great little product gets a forum bump.

    Not a bad idea. I might do that when I order the next batch of parts.

    Question - I'm using a blouch 18g-xt turbo. Is the coolant line on this turbo different than stock? It seems like the coolant tank will be down hill from the current turbo coolant line. Recommendations?

    I think you're routing it wrong. The bottom tank fitting goes under the intake manifold. The top large fitting goes to the turbo.

    If anyone is uncomfortable with bending a straight piece of 1/2" heater hose to go from Mechie's tank to the barb on the pipe under the manifold (which may kink the hose), I found the perfect and cheap bent hose.

    Buy this and cut one of the ends off at the correct length: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CHGIE8

    $12

    Here it is installed:
