Both JB4s (fully updated) slowly run the water pump after the car shuts off. Kills the battery after a few days. It's a common problem, and all the common solutions (rewiring the power, etc.) hasn't solved it. Burger has no answer.

So, as it's my wife's car, I wanted to throw on something simple that would give a little more get-up (which she likes), without the hassle of battery issues, pulling it on and off for CPO repairs, etc.

As the car sits now, I have to charge it every 4-5 days.

If we keep it, I'll probably send the DME off to be benched flashed and go MHD...until then, just looking for a <$150 solution to keep it fun.
