Pretty simple install. Quick question though... What is the electrical connector for on the bottom of the reservoir container? Just left over as they are reusing the reservoir from some other application I assume? Also.. here is what my stock connector did at 500 miles of babying it for break in...




And adm v2 installed (picking up some coolant tomorrow or the next day so reservoir is empty still)...





As others have mentioned the provided instructions were pretty much useless.. they printed them on a 400 year old printer or something

Just got mine and may install this weekend or next week. Any tips or pointers?

Not really... pretty simple. Maybe worthwhile to remove the airbox (I did already as I was swapping stock filter with the green filter).

Instructions mention re-using the purple clip from the fitting but the hose with connector I got came with a new clip already installed into the connector so I could just save the old clip and didn't need to reuse it.

Be sure to attach bottom hose onto reservoir first, worm gear it tight into place, add the mount to the reservoir, and then install reservoir/mount onto the car.

Remove the back supercharger coolant connector via pulling out the purple clip, once detached remove the squeeze clamp so you can pull out that plastic piece off (which is the piece that was broke on my car at 500 miles somehow lol) from the hose, then connect the hose now minus the connector to the straight hose fitting provided with the adm v2 kit that you connected to the bottom of the reservoir earlier and snap the squeeze clamp into place.

Now attach the top hose from kit to top fitting on reservoir, worm gear into place, and snap the connector into place back on the supercharger and it should snap into place with the purple clip already inserted into the connector.

All that is left really is to maybe zip tie the bottom running hose to hang a bit from the top running hose to help pull it away from the manifold but leave some room between the top and bottom hose.

Once that's done can slap the airbox back on and fill the reservoir with coolant (I actually won't get my coolant in until tomorrow, lol, trying to keep the pink stuff so what I ordered I'm told is pink so we'll see... I ordered the ACDelco 10-5027 Dex-Cool 50/50 Pre-Mix Engine Coolant/Antifreeze from Amazon). Leave top open and I believe they to start car, run it for a bit to get it flowing and help push air out of the system, and then put the top back on and run it a little longer. It looks like the reservoir has a built in air bleeder as well.

Screw it! I just ordered one.

Got the coolant in that I had ordered on Amazon, ACDelco 10-5027 dex-cool which has the OEM coolant color and is premixed 50/50 (paid around $12 a gallon) and filled the reservoir up and ran it for a few min with the top off and the sc pump kicked in and sucked down a bunch of coolant so I kept it topped off until level stabilized and then put the top back on. Seems when my connector separated I lost a decent amount of coolant somewhere.. see some residue in the engine bay but not much. Oil change later and will see how she drives lol.

Put mine on today. Super easy to install. Took maybe 30 mins. The instructions were decent, but the pictures they provide are horrible. It’s easy to figure out though.

Finally got around to installing mine. As said above, very easy install.
I was curious if I would have an issue with the flex fuel sensor riding there. They touch each other but they both still fit without interfering with each other.

Sorry if its been asked, but any reason to go with this version vs the cordes version? i do like the oem look though.

That’s really it, OEM look and it mounts where you don’t have to modify the bottom of the hood.

any pic of the opposite side hose connection(the return side)? Even the ADM website only shows the one side...

like to see a pic of the side that faces the firewall if possible.

The firewall side just has an overflow vent tube. The return comes out of the bottom of the reservoir.

see post #30. Nothing there but an overflow tube

Installed my kit today. Installation was super easy and straight forward. I topped off my fluid with Redline Water Wetter and distilled water. This car never sees water or cold weather so freeze protection is a non issue. I made a couple alterations to the kit. I added a foam strip under the bracket to help with rattles and rubbing the black strut brace. The lower hose to the reservoir tank was shortened to get the hose further away from the exhaust. I also insulated the lower hose with XRP-20 hose insulation and wrapped the insulation with wiring harness abrasion protecting tape. The 90 degree fitting with the kit was swapped out with the factory fitting with the bleeder valve. I wanted to keep the bleeder valve and more importantly the 90 degree fitting in the kit got the hose too close to a wiring harness on the coil cover and the small vacuum line on the sensor on the air inlet/throttle body. I was concerned about it rubbing on the harness and putting tension on the plastic vacuum line fitting.

Thanks, didn't realize the return was on the bottom. Guess my only concern would be how low the hose gets towards the exhaust.

Off topic, but did you do the coil covers yourself?

Details?
