Also was thinking of running a spray bar using the factory windshield washer setup. maybe wired to the meth inj switch to spray cool water on the air/air cooler during boost to maybe lower iat even more.

2.5" seems a little thin.

Is this about right for the ebay kit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/32X12...Q5fAccessories
its 32" Just want to do this right. I bought the rear mount kit from rorric and it was setup for an intercooler, but different from setups ive seen here. Off the TB the pipe runs toward d/s and then down with bov attached and then kicks back toward the p/s. The last undercar pipe in the sts kit (if your familiar the one that bolts to the lca) has been modified with 90 at the end so it runs almost in the same direction as the tb down pipe....i know i know....ill post pics.

ok here we go....this is off the tb...well 1st the silicone elbow angled toward d/s and then this pipe...




Then we have the bottom piece...see the 90...just trying to get an idea of how this is going to come together.
