Man!!!!
I was scared why my IATs got to 168* before i had installed the I/C....
Now with the W/A IC i hardly ever see 145-150... unless im towing or long periods of Idling..
Is this one of the Pro/Cons of a Turbo vs Blower???

I could never get windshield washer fluid to do a damn thing to my IATs -- then again I was in Florida and even finding WW fluid that had meth in it was a challenge. Most of what I found was 20% at best.
I ran straight meth with great results, however and could pull 10psi in 98* weather and run 140* IATs (and yeah, that took a lot of meth
) 100% meth plus my a2a IC got me to ambient +10* I'll never run anything else at this point (provided I ever find a place to buy methanol here in Rochester 
).

Ive read about that works pretty good...

The pump was working yesterday on the dyno. Cruising the temp went as low as 130degree's but after a run from 0-100mph is was sky rocketing. I see the only reason is that we are over spinning the blower to the point it just makes heat.With that heat I had to drop timing about 6 degree's from the first setup(7lbs) to keep it from detinating. The blower is just too small for the combo from what I see. Or should I say it's good down low but weezes up top.Sure,pure meth will drop the temps alot but it will use a ton of it and you can never run out.
I'm just use to Turbo's and centrificals with A-A intercoolers.I freek when intake temps hit 120 degree's. My personal truck would actually drop 20 degree's under ambiant with the turbo,intercooler and meth.

It is probably being overdriven too much but, let me throw this out there also.
The pump may be running but, is it running in the correct direction? If it somehow got wired backwards it would have a tough time pumping water backwards through the system unless the resevoir was over filled. I only saw posted that it was checked and running not that it was verified the coolant was running the correct direction so that is why I threw it out there.
