I should have clarified. The system has an additional ~2 gallons of coolant in a reservoir under the car (E46 M3 setup). I just removed the reservoir and ran the lines straight to the intercooler (E9X M3 setup). The system still works the same way (just with half the fluid in the system) and should provide the same cooling.
