Default Just ordered some waterless coolant

I've just ordered 7L of waterless coolant as i've nearly finished my rebuild. The coolant system has been dry for around 7 months so hopefully i wont need the flushing agent.

My question is, do i still need to run a swirl pot as there will be no pressure in the system from having no boiling water. Spec is stage 3+

Personally I'd not use it at all. It makes the car run hotter than it would on normal coolant.

Cheers matey.

Was trying to get away without fitting the swirl pot as i've got a 4WD header tank with no inlet for the top of the switl pot
