Default Single Turbo Build - Coolant Tank / Temp Sensor?

I building a single turbo set-up and need to go with a modified Canton coolant reservoir tank to clear my turbo. These tanks don't come with provisions for the coolant level sensor. For you guys that have a similar set-up, how are you getting around this? Can you cal out the low coolant warning?

I deal with the low coolant light coming on. Maybe I will see if my tuner can shut it off. I think he tried to previously and couldn't

Currently i just deal with it. I may get one of the reset button simulators that will auto clear the DIC menu when it gets an RPM signal

When my senser went bad i just unplugged it and put a paper clip in it to jumper the wires and haven't seen it say low coolant since.

Well for one, the coolant temp probe is in the cylinder heads, not in tanks but the vehicle has a few areas on the engine block to pull coolant temps from.

If you do not want to use block due to packaging... then:

Just order a JODAR part #721111 from Race Part Solutions... it's an aluminum bung(low profie nipple type),gm sensor, and pigtail..and it is cheap. Weld in your tank...run wire to it...boom.

Sorry for the typo. I meant to say the coolant level sensor that is in the reservoir tank, not coolant temp. I will just try jumping the connector with a paper clip.

Thanks,
