Got a message from the vendor saying it shipped. Ordered some piping and couplers to make my new intake. Also should have those billet caps next week also.

Do you still have your pre TI intake (filter/silicone/pipes?). I kind of am too lazy to make my own.

I have some piping the put the filter right behind the intercooler, very tight fit. Not the very best place to have a filter, but when I was running my crashbar/intercooler setup, it was the only place it fit.

Upgraded brakes to brembos. Everything should be here this week. My weld wheels do not clear the rear brembos. I'll be trying out a spacer and longer studs.

Billet caps came today. They were a day early. Looks pretty good.

Haven't tried yet. Just waiting to get car back together. I'll put a spacer and longer wheel studs on and should be fine. If it's really an issue, I'll run the base brakes again in the rear. But I should be fine.

Finally got home and started messing with this. When you first get it, it needs to be clocked almost 180*. Have to make the brackets that hold the volume around. No issue there. I mounted it up to the bracket and placed on the car. Surprising, everything is clearing. Have about a 1/4 gap under the blower so it does not run.

I have solid mounts and maybe that helped with the fitment. It's snug. But it fits! The exit on the blower is kinda heading straight for the radiator fans/housing. When I get my piping remade, I'll have to just angle it away a little bit and it should be fine.

Got my 4" intake piping, this is massive. Gonna be cutting up the core support to make this fit and cut to length. I have a filter ordered and it should be here shortly.

Here are some pics!

Here is a pic of it getting close to the radiator when exiting. Not to worried. I'll trim what I can and have the pipe angled to go back towards engine a little before I drops down.

And this is the massive 4" pipe I'll be using for the intake. Not really much more I can do except wait till Monday to order my cog. Prolly look into ordering some piping now and getting that ready. Already have a new tial flange for the bov to be welded in.
