removed coolant tank and put hole next to opening for the charge pipe
Ovalized a 2.5" pipe for more clearence, the silicone is clamped inside the rocker, I used the crimp style clamps and put a 1/4" notch in the rocker hole so that I could clamp the silicone and then move the clamp inside the rocker for more clearence, fit very nice.

held up with tie wraps for know, this is now raised up so factory height
coming out of the front
2.5 "flex pipe I used to get a rough layout I didnt want to go under the K member because that would defeat the purpouse of staying out from under the car
popped hole in inner fender well, and ran tube under fuse block and behind the headlight, BOV is mounted right before intercooler
Holes in bumper support for intercooler

pic of cold side in place
installed temp coolant and washer fluid tanks
everything back togather
Tried to get the flex pipe custom bent but was unable to. Fiberglassed the steel flex pipe, going to try this until I can fab up another one.
using v-band to join hot side and allows for clocking

very nice. i really like how you got it to tuck up inside the rocker. i managed to get mine pretty tucked up even with 1.25" lowering springs. i had to rotate some clamps so they dont drag lol and pulled up some up front pipes. the lowest part of the whole thing is my turbo and ypipe
Oh and i like that BOV lol im using the same one lol mines silver

thinking I might try and do the up and over the wheel well thing. im not liking the under the K-member portion. its the only thing that's dragging when I hit high spots on the road or "attempt" speed bumps. im wondering if I could try something different up front. the long pipe on mine is actually not too bad and sits higher then the y pipe lol
you got a picture of clearance with the car sitting on the front tire? Just wondering cause im trying to figure out how to keep my wheel well liner in there but Im thinking I might not be able to do that. im wondering if I should come up over the wheelwell in in the engine compartment. just a thouhgt
and as you can see, the lowest part of the whole piping is the ypipe! shredded my exhaust wrap on my driveway 
lol and yeah, the turbo needs to be tucked back up there. when I jack the car up, the panhard sits on the turbo snout

as you can see by my updates, I fixed that lol did that today 
you weren't lying. it was low. has a few scrap marks on it but that's fixed now lol I have about a 4 1/2" fist and I have more room above that, so I got about 5ish inches of clearance again. now the only thing that's low is the pipe right in front of the rear tire. everything else is actually tuckup in the car. The over the wheel well piping, im thinking of somehow ovalizing, but overall give way moe clearance then the traditional STS style routing. ive seen one guy route it INTO the car on the passenger side, but is way more invasive and am still having it go over the wheelwell. if I did twin rears, id do that

heres my efforts with a soild piece. still needs some fine tuning but its pretty decent.
After I had an exhaust shop bend it into place, I finalized the fit myself. I massaged the pipes a bit to conform to the wheelwell. It fits pretty well. I need to support it with something so that its alittle more secure. High temp painted it to help conceal it a bit. I need to adjust it. its touching the tire when I turn it to the right alittle.
that part that peaks out on the front is the only part that touches. im gonna modify the bump mounting bracket so it can fit the pipe better.
