looking good i see you got some goodies from archie....some advise tho make sure that ALL your vacume hoses have zip ties on them and make sure that the MAP sensor has a zip tie also if you can replace that plastic vacume line with a rubber one....make sure that all your intercooler clamps are snug and tight cuz you dont want the up pipe coming off while under boost.....the bypass hose you have on the heater rail make it longer cuz i can see that its shorter and ill can pop later on down the line.....if you need any more info shot me a pm....
