Cooling a blower while being reasonable
What do you guys have out there to keep IATs down im planning on 12-15 pounds of boost and know ill be running into issues. Im wanting to put a 5 gallon water tank in the back with a pump and some sort of heat exchanger for below 1000$ im wanting to add a interchiller and drag pack later down the road as these suppose to drop IATS down to low as 0* what do you guys have? 800$ on a expansion tank seems insane to me.
Was thinking of these so far

450$ for a pump seems ok but is there anything a little less that will do the job I don't want to purchase something I don't need.

The part number for the HX and dimensions. It fit perfect length and width wise on a 06 c6z. Just had to move the horn.

Its gonna heat soak some no matter what you do. Its just the way it is. What I can tell you is I would ditch the cats cause they are going to fail eventually. Also money is better spent elsewhere than a 102 TB. That wont do anything for you. I don't really thing you will make 15 lbs on that setup, but might get near.

That's why many go with a centrifugal, throw on some meth and call it a day. Some will say you can run meth with a PD blower, never done it personally, just always heard it was bad for the rotor coating.

You can run meth with a PD.. no problem there. It does help to a point.

Never heard a real definitive answer on that from any manufacturer, just anecdotal experiences like yours. So I'll assume if you could, how does that work? Where's the IAT on a PD motor, still pre-blower, correct? How would you ECU adjust for the lower IATs if the heat source is down stream from the sensor?

Yep, me too. On three different TVS2300's and numerous other Magnuson MP112 and MP122's. I think Eaton used that as an excuse to get out of a warranty issue or two. I had one that went of 250K miles with WW fluid injection, which I've heard is way worse than meth injection. The downside is that you get very little IAT reduction and there's no sure failsafe to pull timing if the meth injection quits working. You do get the added octane, but that's about it. It was worth less than 20 hp on my Heartbeat build at 10psi and 660 rwhp.

Here’s the details on the PNR tank I got. They said the Davis Craig pump is recommended for DD/street cars. I started with a LSA blower on 12lbs and now have a LS9 on 18lbs with that trunk tank and HX. ZL1 lid and brick. No heat soak issues. No IAT issues. Made over 800 wheel on e85. Get that HX and similar trunk tank and you’ll be fine - with room to grow.
