I believe a set up like this would benefit by having a larger reservoir tank than the one vortech provides for increased coolant capacity, as well as a larger pump to move more fluid.
This is the pump recommended by PWR.

I tried a larger/faster pump and it actually hurt cooling efficiency. The water needs to have some residence time in the heat exchanger.

Thats interesting, but it does make sense... What about a larger reservoir tank? Wouldnt something with more capacity be better?

We have building the Intercooler for the Jackson supercharger for a few years now. We lots of R+D I found the 2 to 2.5 GPM was about the best results. Too fast and the heat exchanger doesn't have enough time to do it's job and to slow the liquid gets too hot...etc..
I also found reservoirs are just extra volume to transfer heat, of course the bigger the heat exchanger the better. I'm going to building another turbo kit for my using a Water to air design like our JR IC manifolds and I can do a real world back to back test.
