Default Coolant reservoir

Came home after a drive to see my coolant tank is shooting coolant out under pressure at the seam.
Anyone have one laying around for sale?
I'm in Mishawaka, In 46544. will cover shipping as well.
And is Lindseys fancy one the best option next?

That ("Lindseys fancy one") looks like the old Huntley Racing design. The sight glass was reportedly problematic for leaks. I must have missed something as there is no way to add this to your cart, nor see a price. IOW, it may not be available...

Has anyone used a non turbo tank and like T'd off the single outlet?
I'm assuming the difference is the outlet for the aux pump.. i could be wrong.

600$ seems outrageous for a tank

Something could probably be rigged but be aware there is a flow check device in the upper spigot on the tank.

I saw on Facebook that URO is now making one. Might be worth looking into…then you can be a quality control Guinea pig for the rest of us!

If you can send a link to the URO one ill test it.. When I tried looking it up it seemed to be the same price as a OEM one

I can't find the URO one for a turbo.
I'm also wondering whether one could you hydrogen peroxide or bleach to make the yellowed plastic white again... even though that's not the issue for OP atm.

Hey Nicky, did you still need a coolant tank? I replaced mine recently because I got a deal on a newer one, so my (probably OEM) old tank was still functional when it was removed.

Rock auto has the URO NA tank listed for about $120. I was wondering about the quality as well as some of URO parts are good and some are not. Does anyone have feedback on one yet?
