Okay so the weirdest thing is going on!
I hooked up the power steering reservoir with ss lines. It work fine.
Now as soon as I plug in the oil cooler set up that I Baught directly from them. It acts up. I will turn the car on turn left turn rite and all of a sudden fluid will shoot out like a volcano from the little breather hole it has in the top of the cap.
I connected the cooler as instructed on there site and video. I even flipped the cooler around incase somehow it's directional but same issue.
I unplug the cooler and ran the resevoir without it and it doesn't shoot out.
Any ideas?
I emailed them yesterday but haven't heard back

You are installing the cooler on the low pressure side correct?

You're doing it wrong.

Maybe air in the cooler that needs to be bled out. With the car off, turn the wheels full lock left and right several times (easier with wheels off the ground), and monitor level in the reservoir.

To me, the location of the reservoir doesn't seem right. Try mounting it higher so that the pump is fed by gravity.

Shouldn't be a wrong way to hook it up. The closest one to the firewall from the rack goes into our left of the cooler and the reservoir onto the right of the cooler.

That makes sense.
Bleeding the cooler will be just full locking left and right while car is off?
No procedure when the car is on?
Thanks

That's actually a picture off chasebay . My reservoir is higher like you say but my connections are exactly the same

There is a wrong way to hook it up, one port on the reservoir is the feed, and the other is the return. Hooking them up backwards isn't going to work right.

Do it with the car off first until the fluid level no longer decreases. Then start the engine and continue turning lock-to-lock until it is completely bled.

Thank you. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

JSimpson's kit works flawlessly. Mounts on the low-pressure side and is bolt on. Should've gone with that kit instead yo
