    You need to add it under a load slowly to see if it helps. Add a little under a load then let it run that way for a few minutes and see if temps fall. If not then the cap tube is too restrictive.

    I just wanted to add something interesting/funny that just happened. I was wanting to do some low stage work on my autocascade/MRC and I was pumping it down by closing off all the stages and it looked fine but I got sidetracked and when I came back the high side needle was absolutely pegged. It goes to 500psi but it was past that touching the stopper. Compressors still sounded fine luckily, but what a good test of high side lines.

    I usually pump it down into a cylinder while doing this, but it didn't look like it was needed at that time but then I got pulled away doing something else. Very interesting to see that happen with the alleged "bomb" I made in any case.

    What I mean by "bomb" is there were some old old threads on here back when I made this autocascade that had people posting things that had, ehh, let's say, less than reasonable understanding, claiming people would blow themselves up making a nitrous/propane autocascade haha
