This mod does not require the ignition key to be in the ON position in order to be activated.

Intercooler Jumper Mod Items Needed:
- Minimum 18 Gauge Wire / 2 ~ 3" Length
- Ring Connectors As you can see from the picture, the IC Jumper Mod can be done for little to nothing depending on what materials you have in your tool chest. While this is a very simplistic cheap mod, this option remains to be a PITA. After each run the cover must come off, then the IC Pump Relay must come off, and then you can run the Wire from Lead 30 to 87... To do this after each and every run, it is very time consuming. |

" Simpler " Intercooler Jumper Mod Items Needed:
- Toggle or Pushbutton Switch ( 2 Prong )
- Connectors for Switch
- Minimum 18 Gauge Wire
- Heat Shrink Tubing
- Drill with Various Drill Bit Sizes Note: The key does not have to be in the ON Position to activate the pump. |
 |
|
- The Auxiliary Fuse Box is located on the passenger side, right next to the IAT1 Sensor that resides on the Intake Tube. |
 |
|
- The cover is held in place by two tabs. |
 |
|
- Before I did any drilling on the cover, I wanted to check the height clearance and the clearance between the Relay and the Fuse. |
 |
|
- You can turn the cover over and use it as a reference point if you want the switch dead center. |
 |
|
- The only bad thing about the Pushbutton Switch was trying to find a wire plug that would fit the small prong. Anyways, here is my first ever weak attempt in using a Soldering Iron. Here is a very useful link on how to use a Soldering Iron --> LINK. |

|
- If you do not have any Heat Shrink Tubing, use some Electric Tape to make sure that the prongs will not make any contact with the Relay or the Fuse. |
 |
|
- Once the switch is assembled on the cover, connect the wires to Lead 30 and 87. |
 |
|
- Now slide in the IC Pump Relay carefully. The relay will only back in one way. |
 |
|
- Time to test the switch before you put everything back together. You should be able to hear and see the IC fluid flow on the reservoir. Carefully put the cover back on and now you are done! Thanks to PFab for coming up with this idea! |
