Thanks to Mike for sending me a pair off his first batch of black anodized ps and radiator overflow reservoirs. I have hydroboost on my car and the integral reservoir didn't have enough volume to work well; to get enough fluid in the reservoir to stop groaning it would puke some out of the cap when hot. I then went to a remote reservoir AFCO can, but with the two bypass lines feeding into it the fluid would bounce off the cap at any level and leak from the gasket.
Mike has a new reservoir that could be used on any ps unit that uses a remote reservoir, but is ideal for hydroboost setups too. It already has two return lines that are fully baffled inside the unit so the retuning oil stays under the fluid level, reducing foaming, and doesn't splash up against the cap. He offers a matching black anodized radiator overflow, so I figured I'd get a matching set.
Install was very easy, even though I'm really limited on room with the twin turbo setup and all the extra plumbing. The black anodized version (he also offers standard aluminum) is very subtle and basically disappears in my engine compartment, which is exactly what I wanted. These are pre-production models and he may be tweaking the final version, but these looked and worked great for me. Here's a couple pics of the units along with the billet clamps he supplies for mounting. First the mounts:
