the bumper grills gives it a differnt look then all the NA turbo'd cars out there. this looks totally custom and clean this way... gives it a classy sport look i think

87 KPa = ~ 12.6 PSI

Johnny that set-up looks sweet, you are the man!
For the pcv lines:
I believe that the most important thing to do is to vent the crankcase especially during boost.
What I am doing is setting up ventilation from both the breather and the pcv directly into a catch can.
The catch can in the picture doesn't have a breather filter so I'm gonna add one to the top.

As for boosting to 87kpa, what is your wastegate spring set to? Your BOV should not be making much of a difference on the amount of boost you are running.
What kind of boost controller do you have?
Also, are you running open downpipe or does it just look that way in the picture?

Noway that would be so freaken loud.... 2.5 down to the stock cat back until the muffler which is a staight through type... seems to be good enough for the power i want to be at.

my guess is about ~220 whp but quiet abit of lag, spools at 3500 full at 4k, not your ideal drag car. but wicked when downshifted.
hit 92 KPa on the afc reading tonight in 4th gear.. thats 13.35 PSI.... the f23's must have strong MAP sensors, they say you should only be able to get 12 on most honda MAP sensors. Car ran outta air around that point.. maybe my exhaust system, or fuel pump, but they say the stock pump can go to atleast 300 whp and im nowhere near that.

yeah im wondering the same thing about the stock fuel pump. I'd love to be able to save myself the money and just use the stock 1 instead of buying a walbro 255lph unit.

id love to, win or lose its all fun.. haha.. but maybe it should wait until i have a chipped ecu.. they say the afc hack runs too advanced timing for boost, plus its rich on the bottom end.

lined up with my lil bros 96 5speed lexus SC300, was pulling on him in 3rd by like two car lengths, we shut it down at that point. considering his car is rear wheel and has tonnes of TQ. i'm happy. was getting ~10psi.
he told me im quicker then his friends heavily bolt on mod'ed GSR. non of us has a time slip tho, but car and driver says the stock GSR is about 15.3
i think i might be a high 14 second CL

update:
car is still running strong. but will have to redo my oil pan seal to the block, leaks pretty good... haha.
still running the afc hack at -50% throughout, only my idle is a bit rich.
actual PSI is only about 5-6psi on the boost gauge, afc readings were recording the spikes.

I know it may be a bit much to ask, but would you be willing to PM me what parts you used aside from the basics? Your setup is what I want. Just curious if you did injectors and whatnot, any engine work, and what you are doing for tuning. Turbo trim would be nice too
