S/C coolant reservoir install
My wonderful wife got me the Lingenfelter (Roto-Fab) coolant reservoir for a Christmas gift. I've been wanting one for a while and now that I have it, I'm a little unsure of the install process. The directions "assume you have already removed the stock airbox (easy plus already have Roto-Fab intake installed and will remove in about 1 minute) as well as the charge air cooler coolant hoses." I found a thread on here for draining the S/C coolant (located here) but am wondering if you guys who have done this before think this can be done without draining the system.
Any thoughts/recommendations/suggestions or better yet, some step by step instructions how to do it? Thanks for the help guys.

I installed mine without draining the whole system. Check out this thread here:

I have the Lingenfelter directions, just wasn't sure if this could be done without draining the entire system.
Jayno, when you removed the hose from the pump, I'm assuming you clamped it. But, did any fluid make its way out of the pump once removed? I would guess you clamped the feed hose (the one not being removed) and when you removed the hose feeding the pump, you just drained it into a bucket or something. Thanks for help/advice.

Cool, I have to get some fluid before I try this, but hopefully will be done before the week is out. Thanks again for the advice and the link.
