simple question really... let me rephrase.. do you have an AST with your EWP
some EWP keeps the WP housing and just blocks off the thermostat and oe pump..
im assuming with this... you can retain the AST whether aftermarket tank or FC cap without much hassle..
although some have ports directly to the front plate.. curious how they run an AST
pump provides the recirc for the said air to eventually work its way through the system..
really..
secondary question..
is there anyone else outside ofaddicted performance defined autoworks that offers side mount alternator bracket..
i dont care to have to swap to an fc front cover to use the others have available..

I disagree with the AST being “useless”, but since you haven’t gotten responses from those with an electric WP...many of us have properly deleted it without issue. My choice for SMIC dictated it for me. So if you don’t get a suitable option from the EWP crowd I think you could consider it.

leaning towards direct ports to the front plate but the snag right now is sourcing a bolt on bracket for a side alternator mount...
turblown has one that doesnt require the side mount but im not sure if hes still selling it... might have to go get one fabricated..

I purchased an atkins side mount alternator relocation kit for 1st/2nd gen engines. I then build an adapter to that the atkins alternator bracket moves forward (towards the radiator) in order to align the alternator pulley with the main crank. I have not tested the setup, will know by the end of the month.
Neutron posted the Built 2 Apex link. If they have one that works for the FD, I would go that route (if I had to do it all over again)

Switched to EWP cause i got a deal on the pump, still using Evans, about 500 or so miles, no issues yet.
I went with a sakebomb plate/kit retaining the OEM waterpump.
I think its best to have your ECU control your fans. The stock fans has 4 relays for different speeds/situations. I added the EWP signal/double ground just in case.
In this situation if for some reason the ECU doesn't trigger the fans, the EWP control would.
DId this years ago, and off the top of my head, 2 relays ground via ECU when the car is warmed up for medium speed.
When second threshold hits 1 relay grounds via ECU for high speed. I believe I wired the EWP fan control here.
4th relay is off the AC button still in case I want added cooling/control.
