It's very cool to be able to remove the cap and actually see the pump pumping, or dip your fingers into and be amazed that it doesn't burn you after you've just done a few hot laps. It's a great solution for those of us that haven't gone with a supercooler that has a fill cap. The whole setup cost me about $30. and a couple hours of time. There are a few more pic.'s in my gallery if that helps.
The setup you have is a good one, I'll switch to it no matter what because it's clear the intercooler can't handle the extra pressure.

i can come over sun and rip it apart and get everything ready for a new i/c if you want
as a thought you could install 3 of these for the price of a new 1. call and see which has the lowest mileage

I can always count on you for tough love, hahaha. I emailed Tim (MrMoPar) yesterday, haven't heard a peep but I can't wait long. Hoping he has something and can hook a brother up with expedite shipment.

Thanks for the link. I noticed they're mostly in Canada, one in NY and I plan to call them in a moment. Is there anywhere locally that does pressure-testing?

I know, I know... damn vultures.
Nope, I'll be back up and running by then. If nothing else I'll button it all up, run it down the half mile spewing glycol out the tailpipe till she pops.
Then drop a match in the car, walk away and buy your SLK 55 when you get the Cayman S
