Will adding an AST to a 13bt benefit in anyway. I really don't understand why the 3rd gens have them and the 2nd gens don't.

the 2nd gens don't need them. the system is different.

If you know how to get rid of the all the air pockets/bubbles effectively, it's unnecessary. Why add more complexity? It just adds more areas to fail...

Horse POO, I will post pics of my set-up, My water temps do not exceed 190 after 30 minutes of hard road racing, at ~85* ambient, putting 320+ rwhp, with a FMIC who else can say that, and are they using an AST? If you race, it is a no brainer, if you do not overheat now, you do not need it. Pics saturday, when it's light. Carl

AST = air seperation tank.
