Default Pace Charge Cooler Fitting

just a quickie who has one....and where did you mount the pump and header tank?

Got no idea where to put them have been fucking around for hours now trying to find somewhere but im at a total loss

only place i can find is pump behind headlight secured with zip ties and tank in small gap between metering unit and fuel filter.

would like to see some other installs if poss!

I mounted my pump right down next to the gearbox, i got a bracket made up so it sat perfect and the water bottle was fixed to the heater motor shroud

rich see on that pic above, the little bit that sticks out on the matrix shroud right by the strut brace on the right, that where i screwed mine on, the pump was roughly the same place had to take the wheel off and arch liner to nut and bolt it

Deffo looks better if the pump is mouted underneath at the gearbox, it doest look as messy

would have to agree with t28rst,charge coolers dont work very well.a good intercooler is much better,but when i had one i mounted my pump on gearbox too,it helps keep pump cooler aswell.
