This is a pretty basic question but i want to make sure i hook these up the right way. Can you guys look over these pics and tell me what hose goes to what location on the after-cooler? Do I have the hoses on the pump and heat exchanger correct?

SOS Heat Exchanger
Comptech S/C kit
Supplied pump that comes with Comptech kit.

Any help is very much appreciated.

 

Yours looks like a MY06-08, right (no air pump, lucky you!).

Bottom hose on heat exchanger goes to "input" hose on the aftercooler (most-rear-facing bung).

Top hose on heat exchanger goes directly to pump's horizontal fitting. The horizontal fitting is the pump's output into the top port of the heat exchanger.

Front-most bung on aftercooler goes to bottom (vertical, return) barb on pump.

That's according to SOS' instructions, which I have in front of me.


With the SOS aftercooler, the "input" fitting is higher than the output and the exchanger is tranverse...so basically the reverse of what I described with your arrangement. The idea is to have the fluid flowing through increasing "dwell time" to soak up as much heat as possible.

With your aftercooler layout, you may want to have the "higher" bung be the input, but I think your aftercooler has a fill/bleed bolt at the top, right?

 

Thanks for the detailed reply. Yes I have an 07 and my aftercooler has a bleed/fill bolt on the top which is right by the furthest and highest bung, see pic below

 

Anyone else running this same setup? SOS Upgraded Heat Exchanger and a comptech kit

 

I am using the SoS heat exchanger and LOVE it, definitely produces lower temps.

 

Sorry I meant anyone else using the large SOS Heat Exchanger with a CTSC that can share how they have their hoses hooked up.

 

THANKS! This helped me out as well! I just picked up Comptech SC with AF and upgraded HE
