Ordered Roto-Fab Reservoir Parts needed?

I ordered the reservoir and she said I would need to get a Napa 9820 hose. Is their anything else I would need to get to finish the install?
When filling the reservoir I get Dexcool and a water mix. What is the mixture percentage and anything else I need to do? Any install issues I would run into and how did you guys run the hoses? Thanks!

If you have a CAI brand intake, you will need the offset stud that rotofab sells for about $4. A lot of people put wetter water in to help cool things a little more.

couple hose clamps and that's it. I got the premixed 50/50 dexcool stuff and dumped it in and was good to go.

How do I know which hose connects to the reservoir from the blower, then the reservoir to the pump?

The bottom port on the supercharger goes to the top of the roto fab res (inlet). The supercharger pump hooks to the bottom of the roto fab res (outlet). You're just splicing the roto fab res into the bottom hose on the supercharger.

So getting Dex-cool 50/50 and water wetter will mix okay together? I`m reading up and it says the Dex-cool doesn`t like to be mixed with anything other than water. Just checking before I get it tomorrow!

Thanks for the info fellas on install, Nice!

I personally wouldn't mix anything with the dex cool. If you are in a warm climate just run pure distilled water with the water wetter.
