If by "bypass the I/C pump" you mean jump the I/C pump relay so that the pump circulates fluid with the car off, make a jumper wire and jump these two connections in the relay box.

Thx!!!
Searched... How to flush Intercooler coolant!
How does the coolant flow, from the top hose?

Coolant flow is as follows-------Reservoir - pump - heat exchanger - intercooler - back to reservoir.
The top hose is water coming back into the reservoir from the intercooler.

Flushed coolant last night when I installed I/C tank... Running Water Wetter now. Very easy, Attached a hose to the top hose into bucket, jumped the I/C pump and kept filling premixed Water Wetter into the tank till it came out pink!

Thx for the links guys...:beer:

Corrected thread title and moved to correct forum.

I thought "How to bypass the I/C pump" was actually pretty funny, and just had to see what was actually going on in this thread. LOL!

Thanks for the information! I was wondering what would be the best why to run ice in the reservoir. Do I let some water out then keep adding ice till it melts and repeat?
