I am sure you have already thought about it but the condenser will need ALOT of air going across it and I don't think the two fans you have in front of it will pull enough air to keep you from over presuring the A/C system unless you are moving possibly, just something to watch out for etc... But with that said it looks awesome. I see you lost your front swaybar, is that due to the turbo kit or just for drag racing etc...?

I"m probably gonna put a barrier between the condensor and the fans... This would be almost identical to the factory arrangement.
I did lose the sway bar, no way to keep it with this kit.

This is where we plan on putting that barrier so we don't pull the heat from the condensor

The reason for the coupler is because i could find a luminum bung for my AIT sensor. I had to weld a bung in for my AIT sensor... (I used a threaded sensor), the only bung I could find was steel, the rest of my plumbing is aluminum

That's what we ended up doing.
I believe the reason for the extra pipe was because the kit was made for a fast intake and we ended up going vic jr. We needed an extra 6" of pipe.
