I like the new design even though the T is a little high for flowing purposes but deff better then the original. I can see why adjusting the T lower is impossible but I think you get what I mean about having the T lower. Defiantly something I would rock if I had gone the S/C route.
Props!

Yup was impossible. Almost thought about cutting hole straight down in that metal where pcm is, but thought I better not. I bought a 45* elbow, was planning to use that, but I couldn't make things work. I don't like the T that high either, I put it down as far as it could go and made the 3" pipe as small as possible when connecting the fittings. I had to keep checking for hood clearance. Here's the new Scarlet liquid (Red):

How much fluid does that reservoir hold?

Damn. I didn't think that it could hold that much, doesn't look like it from the pics. Very nice.
What is the ID of the pipe, and how tall is it?

You could go 4" if you wanted to Corey. There is thin walled and thick walled pipe. I got the thick walled 3", so its more like 2-3/4" ID.
I got another freakin leak. Where top fittings connects to T, some how its leaking. I primed, glued with the blue pvc glue like made, and twisted. I don't get it.
Being red, it really helps to see if there is a leak!!

You can use 4" pipe if you want go even bigger. There is thick and thin walled pipe. I used the thick 3" pvc, with ID about 2.5-2.75". The cap gives more room and so does the T since it reduces. Corey it rests on that metal surface where pcm lyes, straight up to where you see it. Total height from bottom to top of threads is 12".
The red dye also helps spot leaks easier under the car.
Well the top fitting to the T is leaking some how. I primed, glued like mad with blue pvc glue, and twisted, still got a leak. That coolant is some nasty stuff, no wonder why it ate gaskets, eats just about anything.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103049 It'd be really expensive but I'm sure there are similar ways. BTW that's the same coolant I've got in my computer and yes, it does have black lights.

did you wait for the glue to fully cure before you added coolant?

I have no SC experience, so humor me. What kind of temps is this IC exposed to. I know that the average temp a water heater puts out is about 120-140. I doubt the PVC glue is designed for really hot temps. Also, are you using the primer and the glue? It looks like you did from the pics, but the primer is important.
