Rotary Extreme VMIC...no hose for bottom of AST
As the title says, I'm running the RE VMIC, but the radiator has nowhere to hook up the hose coming from the bottom of the AST. I was thinking about just deleting the AST but I'm not sure I want to do that either. Where would be the best place to hook up that hose? I'm thinking about running it to the nipple for the coolant return from the stock turbos. I have my AST mounted down behind the VMIC on the driver's side, so the bottom of the AST would sit lower than that nipple, would that be a problem? I might still just delete the whole thing. Any suggestions?

If you delete the AST i suggest investing in a lisle funnel. This helps remove any air bubbles when you run the engine and warm it up to push it through the system. It also doubles as a great tool to see if your coolant seals turned into swiss cheese.

Thanks for the advice. I'm probably going to keep the AST but it would be so nice to have it gone too. Saying I would delete it though, am I supposed to use this funnel to top off every now and then or does it have another use? I'm just a bit hazy on this.
