Looking good man. Can't wait to see it running.

If you don't mind, can you share what you used for the fitting on the filter and how you went about it?

Summit p/n SPE-5946. I drilled the top of the filter with a 9/16 drill bit and threaded the fitting in there. The rubber top is much thicker than I expected (around 1/2") and the fitting is very snug

It's for my dual catch can setup. I have a one way check valve to stop boost from entering the crankcase on one can and on the other you need a source of vacuum under boost...hence the fitting on the airfilter (see attached diagram)

Added a turndown to the downpipe. In the future I may add more exhaust but for now this will work

Thanks man. I might have missed it in the thread so forgive me, but what catch can are you running? I was thinking of going with the Saikou Michi can.

Pretty much done except for the tuning! Over the past few days I hooked up the wastegate, the BOV, and the catch can. Once that was done I went over everything to make sure all the connections were good and bolts were tight and the final thing I did was cut the bumper cover for airflow to the I/C. Today I installed the bumper cover, put the front tires on, and fired it up for the first time. Video's to follow...

Everything looks nice and clean
I keep having setbacks with my set-up. I was supposed to be on the dyno tonight but I lost my clutch hydraulics.
I really want to see what these huron speed kits can do. Mine pulled like a SOB on 15lbs. It was almost too much.
Enjoy

What did you do for where the charge pipe comes through the fuse box area? Just leave the fuse box loose?

My catch can setup is exactly the same down to the saiku michi cans you used. So far it's working well so you should have good luck. I had issues using a short filter like that when tuning for higher boost. No issues at 11 or less psi, but when going higher my IAT's would rise and boost would taper badly. The filter was choking under the pressure and causing the turbo to work really hard causing higher IAT's. I since put a larger element and also routed it down and away from the pluming. No issues so far. Keep that in mind if you experience the same. Very nice build btw, looks very similar to mine.
