Its FINALLY here!

Does it require any different connections, that were not sent to you? From images in instructions it seems to have a y connection on the passenger side?

The extra lid port on the passenger side goes to the I/C tank. The instructions show two connections, but the actual I/C tank now has three. Once I had all the other hoses connected per instructions, those were the only two ports left and the pre-bent hose routed perfectly.

Picture shows the additional hose (bottom one of the three).

Just have to make sure all of the hoses are out of the way of the radiator fans, pullies and belt!

Great, thank you. Ill double check the tank and insure it has the 3 connections

Here is the routing diagram from their latest gen 5 installation manual. it shows the 2 ports on both sides, whether they are hot/cold and where they end up.

the hot side outlet on the right of the drawing goes to the fill reservoir. There are two lines out of that reservoir, the low side and the overflow. Both of those lead to the top of the coolant tank along with the hot side from the left.

They already redesigned the Gen5 blower? Where did you see that info from Dustin?

Yes he has talked about it on Facebook and a bit in this video as well. I guess they added some runner length to improve torque and completely redesigned the intercooler. He also mentions in this video that there would be a 3.2 blower coming too since Eaton is doing the 3100.

That's very interesting! Not sure if this is a transition phase (to use the two port Intercooler tank) into the next phase with the three port I/C tank. Guessing no knows what they will really get until they open the box?

Thanks for sharing! I did watch some of that live, but did not catch the part where he briefly talked about the 3.0 updates. They talk about it at 17:18 in that video.

Yes, sounds like some runners were added to help with lower end torque and a new & improved cooler! Great news!
