Thanks OD. I think this will work much better now that the pesky electrical issue is resolved.

what's your plan now? and you'll have a space sc kit? or it's going to be used somewhere?

no longer have the Wagon, sold it once I got it running right. Never really drove it all that much, so I decided to let it go

JFYI there are MANY little tricks that can be done to make this sc option work better.
1- hint--look at the air intake tube to the SC...
2- Look at the TB
3- look at the a/w intercooler set up
4- look at the lim
5-look at the fuel rail
6- look hard at ignition--all aspects of it
7- look at engine bay heat ( dont do any exhaust wrap!)
8- look at belt tension and % of belt wrap on the pulley
Thats enough to keep you thinking for a little while

went to fill up fluids and oops! oil on the floor and coolant leaking. both due to bad hoses that I didn't check. But then the rad fill nipple busted off while replacing hoses so there's a BHR rad on the way. (Thanks Ray!)

you reversed the flow ow water to the air water intercooler? The fitting on the tank appears to be connected to the bottom part of the intercooler? Does that work better?
