I did not... I was not convinced that with the heat the renny put out that the grease would not last. I want this car to be able to drive in stop and go rush hour traffic without me questing it... call me old fashioned i have a hard time thinking the grease would hold up and have a hard time trusting it. I did however divorce the coolant lines into its own system running NPG-R and a pump that turns off and on with the car. i could if i really felt spunky run the system on a turbo timer and larger cooler but am waiting to see temps first.

Yeah man, she is running. We worked out a major exhaust leak at the wastegate V-band but there is a still a slight exhaust leak since he needs a new midpipe gasket. But it starts and idles fine so the vacuum leak doesn't seem too bad. Short Term Fuel Trims are way off though so we need to get a tune loaded and get some logs to see what's up. It's probably a vacuum leak but that is what we have our trusty smoke tester for ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
But it's drivable, just need to get the small stuff back on.

Not really. Just did it. The tricky part was finding the correct pump. You dont want a replacement coolant pump as they flow way way more then you would need. I ended up using a Bosch unit from a SC'ed mustang. It draws low amps and flows all i could need. I did not want to mess with a thermostat unit or bypass for just cooing my turbo so it runs with ignition on. My reservoir is one i had no use for already in my engine bay. The hard part is finding a suitable mounting spot and getting all the correct size lines and such.
