How come on boosted cars people run header tanks? Is this something is needed?

so you can use a better radiator.. the standard rad has an in built header tank which gets in the way of most applictations..
you will find you will need to move the rad forward to give you enough space. so one option is a diesel rad which uses a header tank.

Ive noticed that the diesel rads are as wide as the normal vtr/s ones.

Was your header tank easily made danny? Want one that would sit on top of drivers arch.

i wouldnt say it was easily made but its not too bad. you have to take a few things into consideration but not rocket science. there are plenty of cars you could use one from.
