I do not want to run the round reservoirs as they dont fit in to my build (look wise). And the stock reservoir just wont fit in its location now due to my coil packs being relocated in that area, and the plastic nipple sits WAY too close to the turbo. im asking to see if anyone maybe knows of another cars stock coolant tank that fits. Or something in black, has to be low profile aswell, my ac lines will go over it.
Anyone know of a smaller coolant reservoir that would fit in same location as stock?

I have a few NOS tanks lying around for unknown vehicles, in my NOS parts stash
Honestly, with the amount of twin turbo hardware you have under that hood, along with the engine temps, and general heat you've been contending with I don't think I would even consider staying with any type of plastic reservoirs for coolant or even washer fluid for that matter. I guess you could fabricate an aluminum one if that's the look your going for...makes the most sense for such a custom project build, that way it can give the exact look you want.
The billet or spun vertical cylindrical aluminum types are basically designed for those tighter, hotter environments and can be located in more easily alongside radiator support, or in front of it.
Having said that, maybe just do a search on Google Images for "dorman coolant reservoir"

Yea. I actually went as far as to order about 6 different ones from Amazon (all went back. No plastic needed. But for other cars they sell aluminum aftermarket reservoirs. I tried one that was pretty close but not enough to fit
Yeah, no shortage of options...guess you gotta just find one that meets your needs/looks, or just draw one up on paper and either fab it, or have it fab'ed.

When I make a bracket for my car, I make one out of cardboard so I can fit it where it needs to go and know where to bend it and/or weld it. You might need to do something like that and make one.
