![]() ![]() While this can work, the relocation requires longer lines that may themselves trap air if the routing is not well thought out, the final location may not be high enough to be as effective as the OEM location and it requires the additional use of fabrication tool and materials, which many of us do not have. Firewall, strut towers, and various other areas in the engine bay have been used via fabrication of brackets and other less glamorous methods. The other option is relocating the OEM tank to another location. While some have been successful in removing the ECFT, this is not the preferred method as its success is hit or miss at best. This means the tank either needs to be relocated or removed. For guys running a rotated turbo setup, the turbo inlet and/or inlet piping interferes with the ECFT. The ECFT allows the cooling system to be filled and air to escape similar to a traditional system. So, to address this situation, Subaru uses the ECFT. The turbocharged Subaru is a bit of an oddball in that the radiator filler neck is not the high point of the cooling system the turbo charger sits higher than the radiator filler neck.
