since this thread is still going, i made a short video of my intercooler reservoir. I think the pump whipple uses is the same bosch pump that's stock on the gt500. This is with the afco dual pass heat exchanger installed.

The whipple reservoir is pretty small, same one used in 03-04 cobras, so that may make it look like it's flowing more.
I'm not sure how adding the afco heat exchanger affected flow, but the pump runs quieter now.

I've been having some intermittent intercooler pump noise on my M90 supercharged Mustang. Every now any again, it would buzz noticeably, and then reset when I turned the car off. I took to the dealership a while ago, and of course, they were unable to replicate the problem, so they did not replace the pump.
The other morning, I noticed the pump again, but a lower buzzing. So, I decided to look more deeply into the issue on the forums, read about some ways to test it, and found the following on my car:
1) Looked into the intercooler reservoir with the car running, and there is no "turbulence."
2) Drove the car an hour into work, left the car running, and looked again and no "turbulence."
3) Stuck my finger into the reservoir, and the coolant was warm (finger test says about 120 degrees or so).
My understanding is the pump should always be on, so I should always see turbulence.
I think the pump may be out, or working intermittently. Not sure about the coolant temp... it may supposed to be around 120 (cooler than the engine coolant), but I'm not 100% sure.
Any help here?
