A. Attach the surge tank mounting bracket to the
surge tank using the supplied 1/4” hardware.
Using
Fig. 14-a and the surge tank assembly as
a template, drill a Ø9/32” hole in the vehicle’s
evaporator bracket and secure the surge tank
assembly with the 1/4” hardware.
B. Cut an 8” section of the Ø3/4” hose and attach
one end to the driver’s side fitting on the water
cooler and the other end to the water pump inlet.
C. Secure both ends with the provided nylon clamps.
(See Fig. 14-b.)
D. Cut an 8” section of the Ø3/4” hose and attach
one end to the inlet of the water pump and the

E. Route the hose toward the firewall and back of
the engine. Connect the hose to the straight
fitting on the charge cooler and secure with a
nylon clamp. Make sure the hose is away from
sharp edges and the exhaust system. Ensure
that NO kinks or sharp bends are allowed on any
of the hoses.
F. Cut a 23” section of the Ø3/4” hose and connect
between the bottom of the surge tank and the

clamps.
