Yeah, unfortunately I'm in New York so I'll experience some cold nights. Im in a heated garage but my luck I'll take the car out on a 45 degree fall night and it be freezing by the time I'm home. I'll be running water wetter and distilled water and I'll just drain and install 50/50 in the colder months, I don't drive the car from when salt hits the road to about April anyway. Thanks for the input fellas

Another question for ya'll. I have the vortech aftercooler and a big heat exchanger, 3"x7.5"x26" from frozen boost. How much distilled water goes in this thing? How do I know when it's full?

For my Comptech system with the FrozenBoost HX, I just filled it till it overflowed. Cycled the pump for a while, topping it off as necessary. When I was convinced it was full with no air left in the system, I sucked out a bit of the water from the fill hole and poured in a tad of water wetter. Final fill level was about a half-inch below the fill cap's threaded hole.

It took me a while to get all air out of system with my upgraded heat exchanger. I kept adding fluid and then turning on pop and off and then adding more fluid. Once it was filled the lever would not go down at all anymore. Did some short drives etc and checked again and didn't go down so level I could tell was good.
