Thanks!

Just to make sure, the extra for the led tank level is for the tank itself? The gauge still tells u when it's low?

Good price, I'll try to sell my Helix intercooler it's been sitting in my garage waiting to get installed.

Yes, the optional LED is to back-light the tank itself just to see level. There is still a level switch in the tank and a yellow LED on the gauge face itself that tells you when the tank is low.

Here is a link to the LED colors, scroll down to mid-page: Tank LED's

Here's a link to the Factory Manual

A couple of more details. To get the kit setup to each car, here's the basic info we'll need at some point, I'll probably email everyone a form or list to send back after the GB sign up is closed

1) 53 or 56
2) Injector size, appox. HP level
3) Fluid you wish to run 50/50, 75/25, 100% etc.
4) Red or Blue gauge face, can be seen HERE under main pic.
5) Left or Right tank.(still confirming the right tank setup)

Ah, thanks Jeff! Makes sense now. I'll opt for just the gb with the included package for now.

Please add me to the list. I've been eyeing this kit for quite a while. Thanks to all involved in putting together the group buy and to Thumper for his nice install thread.

The one gallon tank we use is not especially bad in sloshing, but we can always try to make it better. Baffling will let you run the tank lower before the risk of getting air in the pump due to sloshing, which you don't want to do. This is usually used by the track guys to get maximum out of the tank and keep air from getting in the system. Here is a video of what the fluid looks like both a non and baffled tank. Baffle Video Scroll down a little to the video.

Top mount penetrations means the tank tap, and the level switch are placed in the top of the tank, instead of the bottom and side. The standard methods we use greatly minimize the chance of a leak occurring, (a vendor fitting has leaked in the past) but putting all the holes for the tank in the top basically minimizes the chance of the tank leaking. Remember, there is still tubing running down to the pump etc. So nothing is guaranteed, just another method of minimizing something can occur.

Add me to the list please, but I need a special tank because I have a Clubman, I would like a tank that can mount under the false floor.
