Message	On a side note to my previous post about C cannister removal for installation of IC's: My radiator overflow tank has a quarter sized hole in the bottom, and it was bone dry and full of grime. The condition it's in leads me to believe that it's been like this for a while. My research leads me to the fact that this tank has a one way valve, and the radiator does not suck any excess water/coolant from the tank. Is it admissable then to delete the tank to get better flow to the intercoolers? It's $50 to replace, so it's not a big deal.
