Does the water pump upgrade cause the IC to leak with the original HE, and not with the LET HE, or with both?

Sorry to bring up old post, BUT how did the C3P wind up working for you? I still have one in the box I have never used?? Any issues since you've been running it over a year now??

I don't have it installed... Everything was fine until I tired to put the S/C back on the block.... For some reason it seems that the Code 3 was a little to big, so I just put this another oem one until I got around fixing the brackets on it.... I plan on reinstalling it coming up as im redoing the top part of my engine

What torque specs did you follow for the bolts used on the intercooler/supercharger flange?

I am not going to sell it I want to do the install BUT was concerned about the size of the unit over the Garret OEM (Height issues).

I think the Code 3 were about 800.00 when they came out. OEM is close to double that.

Will know better Monday when I get the gaskets that did NOT come with it. Brandon failed to mention that BUT I take full responsibility and will get my own. Its a very nice looking piece, very light and not quite as sturdy as factory IC, BUT lets hope it fits and works as advertised. Like the Code 3 pulley, it was a very short and limited run.
