Here's what I ended up doing...

I like that, Cajun- Is it just regular paint?

 

[CajunKenny]

Thanks! It's Rustoleum 'Low Gloss Black'.

The paint makes checking the fluid level a little more difficult; but, I think the trade off is worth it.

CK: Hope you gave the screen a really good clean before you painted it

To the people running the N/A power steering reservoir, stock AFM with open element filter, and stock intake manifold, how did you route your intercooler pipes?

Yep. And what a pain in the butt that was! :biglaugh:

 

[HKS_TRD]

You can just run an inline filter instead, thats what I plan on doing with mine, impossible to get to the screen on the stock ones

 

[IJ.]

Always run an inline filter here no matter if the Reservoir is screened or not.

[HKS_TRD]

I need to get one too, where is the best place to order one from in our Country Ian?

 

[IJ.]

Got mine through a bud at Pedders Dan.

Actually an Aussie product?

More info

 

[HKS_TRD]

Ah OK didn't realise it was an Aussie product, will have to look it up I am imagining they come in a few different fitting sizes, would I be correct in that I could cut the factory hose from the reservoir to the pump and install it inline, or even just use 2 bits of universal hose, that factory hose didnt really have much shape to it anyway and I'd hate to cut the new one I bought, but then again no one is probably ever going to use it without a magnefine in it anyway

 

[IJ.]

It goes in the low pressure return hose, as far as I know one size only.

 

[HKS_TRD]

Wouldnt it be better to go in the line from the reservoir to the pump? Or will it restrict flow and cause issues?

 

[CajunKenny]

^My same question.

And with an N/A pump the low side would be the larger line. Correct? The smaller hose is ~3/8" and the larger is ~5/8" if I remember right. The larger one returns to the pump.

I was just at Schuck's and they indicated two sizes of filters (barbs). A 3/8" and a 1/2". No other sizes.
