S/C and Intercooler but no water pump
As the title say I have the supper charger and the intercooler but I just had to send the water pump off to either be repaired or replaced. Questions is - Will it hurt to run my car with out the intercooler having water pumped to it? I believe it should not but I just want to make sure. I will only be doing short city driving (work and school) and will not be making any real boost. Thank you all in advance. Clinton

Depends on boost level. I think it would be pretty hard to drive it in such a way that you never saw boost, although you could probably come close.
If you are high boost (>5psi), I would park it until you fix it, or switch to a lower boost pully until you can fix it.

He has a Hope Systems Intercooler, there are only a handful of them in existence as they were made by one of our very own members who, sadly, is no longer producing them.

Blown is Best
I think this is the pump that was supplied with the kit:

Thanks Allout.....no the pump I have was upgraded because it and the water tank were located in the trunk. It was from a company call Meiziere (sp?). Well I check and they received it Friday so I will probably give them a call tomorrow to check on it and get a time frame from its return. Really sucks not being able to "play" with my car.
