That is one clean setup. What are your goals with the car?
It is one of Spped Inc.. new street kits.
What are you doing for your PCV system? Just the breathers on the valve covers or something more?Are you just plugging the PCV inlet to the side of the intake manifold?Where are you taking your boost reading from for the boost gauge?
Breathers on both valve covers and tying in the valley cover into the intake of the Turbos. Boost reading I can take anywheres on the charge side.

Well as anything there have been subtle differences in my car than Jims due to the fact (At least I think this is the issue.) that I have an olderBMR K-member. They changed the design a while back and the motor mounts are a little different and I believe the motor sits down a little farther etc... Just been dealing with them one at a time and also some of it is me making my **** look a little nicer than a race car might I like all the fittings to match etc... and I don't like doing things twice. I am very pleased with the way everything is ending up after a little tweeking etc.. Wiring take a LOT of time also! getting closer though.
