Re: QLCC, Bypass Valve and Intercooler Strapping Questions

I don't plan on getting the samco hose, but has anyone successfully
plumbed a bypass valve on an mc motor without the third outlet in the ic,
and the samco hose? I was thinking drilling into the the ic tank and
fittind a threaded fitting on the outside of bypass valve port and jb
welding it. I put a nut and washer on the inside of the tank and screw the
valve on. Just a little apprehensive about it. 

BTW- I feel that the ic should be stapped even without boost enhancements.
