[QUOTE="Poisonous West, post: 16563204, member: 157145"] I have the KB 3.6 L/C on my car. I am not a big fan of using the hot engine coolant to cool down the supercharger since the engine coolant always at 180F on average hot summer day - I have the 170F thermostat installed already. The intercooler coolant is not that hot even after several hard pulls. I am still using the OEM IC coolant plastic reservoir and I know lots of people switch to the bigger aluminium IC tank (the one sits inside the engine compartment) . But the aluminium is an EXCELLENT thermal conductor but the OEM plastic tank actually acts as a heat barrier inside the hot engine compartment when the hood is closed. The IC coolant inside the OEM plastic tank gets barely warm on a hot summer day after the engine shot off with the hood closed. The underhood temperature is at least 180F on a hot summer day. The aluminium IC tank would heat up the coolant to the same temperature inside the engine compartment once the engine shut off. [/QUOTE]
