You know we want pics/vids when you run this spill-free "test" :D

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Not here, running fine with stock tstat (little warmer than 160). Haven't had time to put 160 back in and use the lisle spill free funnel to burp.

Good luck...be prepared to stuff tstat back in if coolant fills you container to quick. I was thinking of cutting side of 20 oz bottle starting at the bottom (but leaving bottom intact) coming up side a few inches and then putting a hose on end of the top part of 20 oz to container on the ground.

That would have worked a whole lot better than the small cup I was trying to use. Great idea!

Thanks guys...the sad part is I thought of this idea after the few swaps I've done already. Still haven't got to try it out.

I got in installed, but there must still be air in the system because it runs hotter than it did before.  I have heat though at idle, so hopefully if I jack the passenger side up higher tomorrow I can fix it.  I lost a lot of coolant taking too long.

The instructions from p3 (attached) officially call for this thing http://www.amazon.com/UView-550000-Airlift-Cooling-Checker/dp/B0002SRH5G BUT from what I understand here, basically get the spill free funnel and let it run with the heat on high until no more bubbles?
