When I block one nipple and apply vacuum to the other, my reservoir makes unpleasant noises and the vacuum leaks down. So I guess that needs to be changed.

I thought of wrapping the new reservoir in aluminum duct tape to help it cope with heat better. It probably cracks due to constant expansion and contraction since it takes a lot of heat from the turbo.

Just thinking of ways to minimize maintenance in the future since the part is not upgraded and will probably fail in another 100k

part is cheap but removing it is a royal pain.
