SRT 6 VS SLK32 S/C cooling system

I've done a few searches, came up with one picture of a heatexchanger I/C system. I have also done some reading and it has been said that the only ties between the S/C cooling system and the engine (radiator) cooling system were the over flow tube's. I've found that there is a hose from the lower end of the radiator to the bottom of the overflow reservior, there is also a tee in one of the S/C cooling system hose's that also connect's to the reservior. I'm looking into separating the two systems and from what I can tell so far it would be easiest to install a separate reservior for the S/C cooling system. I know L.E.T. has a larger heat exchanger in the works, but I'm not so sure it will make any difference in the cooling effect other than just adding more volume. If they are making it taller from what I can tell there will be no air hitting the top of it. If they are making it thicker, they could be eliminating the space behind it witch will not let air flow thru it as well therefore not cooling as well. I have a few questions for some expert's. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

1- With both the engine & S/C cooling systems connected to the resevior, are either one pulling coolant from it?
2- If I separate the S/C cooling system, how many quarts should the new reservior hold?
3-Could someone that belongs to a MB board post up the difference between the SRT6 & the SLK32 system's (pic's would help)?
4- What is the electrical connector for on the bottom of the OEM resevior?
5- Does anyone know if the S/C hose's or system go anywhere besides the pic posted below?
6- Is this pic of a SRT6 or a SLK32 system?
7- If the SLK32 S/C cooling system is separated from the engine cooling system, where is the resevior located?
