I think he is venting out, not recirculated. Currently trying to work out the bugs with that.

Indeed, if you relocate the MAF to behind BOV in the piping then you never have to worry about unmetered air entering the system since the valve is letting it out before it reaches the sensor. Seems easier said than done on this car, but curious to see what you have going on Kraz?

with all that piping you might want a bigger IC just to get more air, because that looks like alot of piping to be done

I'm going with the full-race intercooler.

I am going to hate getting rid of it, but have to go with a cooler setup! Sexy ass setup though, going to miss it. Just like my password JDM intake...

it will be interesting to see if or how much it effects spool up. I decided to go water to air, in the stock location. Going with a 4.5" core and should work great.

I'm sure my upgraded turbo would love a cooler setup.

Any turbo would. Top mount sucks plain and simple. You watch your IAT's instantly start climbing when sitting. I've got a few things to do before doing a fmic. A2w is also a goof option when done right.

I would assume with a big intercooler like the full-race would cause tones lag on the small Oem turbo. But, I could be wrong.

Sure yes some. But me personally would gladly sacrifice 300rpms of spool time for lower IAT's

I think the a2w as a top mount will work good. I am looking at doing as little fab as possible.. here is the core i am looking at using. I am also going to relocate the battery and get that pesky thing to the back and make some more room in the bay. I am thinking of running the reservoir in the back or somewhere near where the battery was / is. As for heat exchangers i would love to get a full size and a little work i think it would be the best but im going to do a half core, right in the area where the tranny cooler is.. nice big area and looks like it gets good air flow. I figure one 90 elbow at each end of the IC one to the TB and one to the turbo. I have someone that will make mounts for the IC also, so i am not just "throwing" it in there.
