Has anyone tried modding the vindicator yet?
I was thinking about K-modding it but I don,t want to ruin the gun.
Also does anyone know any other good mods for it?
Vindicator mods?

Re: Vindicator mods?
Well, I don't know too much about mods or the Vindicator, but you could try nozzle drilling, resovoir expansion, or pressure relief valve removal. Those are likely the only mods the Vindicator could take without having to destroy the resovoir.

Re: Vindicator mods?
Removing the PRV won't increase the power. It may, however, be needed to allow the gun to pressurise if you do a heavy k-mod.
I would advise against it however. The Vindicator's design means that without a PRV, the pressure in the chamber could be transferred to the reservoir, which may not be designed to take any pressure at all.
You are right that k-mod/collossussing is likely to involve cutting open the reservoir. Unlike in most elastic pressure guns, you will need to find a way to put it back together watertight.

Re: Vindicator mods?
Cantab, the PC is more likely to burst than push onto the reservoir and damage it in the case of a PRV removal and over-pumping.
From the appearance of the internal pics at iSc, it appears that you can simply take off the reservoir without having to damage anything. The PC should then fit through the opening in the reservoir when removing it. Or you could try taking out those screws that go around it, I'm not sure.
