I used a 6" section of 4" pvc. I glued a cap on one end, drilled and tapped ports on it, and left the other end a slip fit. Works great!No extra fan on my heat exchanger yet, and I don't think I'm going to put one on. The heat soak isn't really an issue thus far, but I'll keep monitoring it.

Is an A/C condensor not too restrictive ? (any idea what the waterpressure is, as these pumps are designed for low pressure, high flow. Coupling between motor and impeller is magnetic (no direct shaft drive, and no leakage!))Results look good, have you tried it on a long drive ?
I'm on the fence between air and water IC. I'd be interested in what it's like on a long drive as well.Nice install!
as water can't cool charge air below 180F, air is more efficient on the highway, but it takes up more space under the hood and is not as efficient at low speeds w/o a fan...Awesome piece of engineering work !!! I didn't know there was much automotive research in N.H. :-D I guess being at the big 3 for so long I missed it.
