Threw the bumper cover on just to get a better idea of what it looks like.

I like the look of 4" charge piping on a 4" throttle body. It would have to be transitioned at some point since the intercooler is only 3"

So a couple things have changed that I didn't explain in the previous post. I changed the location of the bov. I wanted it moved farther away from the throttle body so there would be more room to space out the maf, meth nozzle and IAT.

My replacement cylinder finally showed up so that I could bend tubing again!

With that said I finished up the upper core support bar.

Still haven't driven it yet. Its weird for me that I litterally have no drive to finish it considering how little time is left in it. IDk. Ive only put a mile on the car in the past 5 years or so. I only have 62,xxx miles on the car.

Pretty much finished up. Gonna wait to get it tuned since I want to finish the exhaust. Since I'm a broke dick Fbomb owner tight now, I cant afford the material to finish. So Ill wait. Besides I feel like I have no desire to drive it now that it's finished.

Such awesome craftsmanship, sir. Definitely something to be proud of, even if it is just 2.3 miles. Any plans for an air filter?

Yes. Most likely just do one of those boost screens.

I was kicking the idea of making an inlet that would form to one of the nostrils on the ram air but I dont know how Im going to do that with the core support bar that I put in.
