Can anyone identify this reservoir tank on a CT5-V Blackwing?

2023 CT5-V Blackwing
I came across this photo of a CT5-V Blackwing engine bay and noticed a small plastic reservoir tank installed near the intake and radiator support. I assume it's for the intercooler. If so, I’m trying to figure out exactly what brand/model this reservoir is and how it’s mounted.

Here’s the photo:

This looks like a compact, translucent add-on reservoir, possibly ADM or another aftermarket option, but I’m not 100% sure. The aluminum mounting bracket also looks like it might be part of a specific kit rather than a universal setup.

I’m honestly surprised there isn’t a low-cost, drop-in intercooler tank option for the 5 Blackwing that doesn’t require cutting or major modification to the engine bay. It would sure make removing air from the intercooler system a heck of lot easier than using a fill/bleeder kit.

If anyone recognizes the tank, the bracket, or the install location, I’d really appreciate any insight. Links or pics of similar setups would be great too.
 
Yes, this article is where the photo came from. However, Tapout only sells the LMP intercooler reservoir. Per the article, it doesn't appear to have installed the reservoir in the photo either. I'm guessing it was already on the car when it arrived from Connecticut.
 
Never seen anyone put one in a CTS-V or CT5-V.


It may not be this kit, but rather a DIY version from a thread I put together a while ago.

It's like $40 worth of parts, and it makes no sense to spend $260 on the kit, which is a total ripoff.

I figured it was probably a DIY setup.

I did track down the reservoir itself — it comes from here:


What I’d really like to know now is who made the bracket. It looks custom-fabricated and even appears to be laser-etched, so I’m curious where it came from.
