1. yes it has a warranty,
2. wrapping can trap in moisture etc, causing corrosion.

Pixi, i am going to weld a 90*AN to both the rad and the water neck, and do SS. but for now, im going with option 3, which is using the spare compressor housing, hack off about an inch, then weld on a 90* elbow. this should work for for now, while being cost effective and clean. if i clock it down how i wanted, id have lower water routing issues as well. Its cheaper and cleaner to do it this way, plus its a spare comp housing and a 90*, so if this doesnt work, im not out much.

ill keep you posted! thx all.

you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest, honestly, its the honest ones you need to look out for. you never know when they will do something..stupid
