Assembly is complete, minus some splicing to extend my MAF harness. I am just waiting on my base tune before I can fire it up! Coolant is in the motor waiting for a burp. Some final pictures of the last stages are below.
Thanks once again to my father's fabrication skills, I bought a 4" pipe with a 90deg bend and he fabricated a custom elbow at the headunit. He then welded it to the smaller section of the powerpipe. We had to dimple the pipe to clear a radiator bolt.
Coolant hose going under the headunit.
Same coolant hose with the Procharger supplied coupler going to the upper radiator connection.
MAF/Filter ...tight!
Hole in body cut to make room for piping. I used vacuum hose with a single slice as a trim-guard.
PCV connection and a HomeDepot cap for the BPV inlet. I am going to run a catch can, but I have to make a bracket. I just want to get this thing running, so for now the PCV goes straight from the valve cover to the inlet pipe.
Final shots of the completed assembly (minus the shaker of course).

that custom power pipe looks awesome. I think you may end up having some issues with your maf thouse. You don't have much straight pipe before the maf.

Isn't this the "Procharger kit?" I mean, ideally I'd love to have the MAF in the engine bay, but there is a slight hood clearance issue with the current Procharger elbow coming off the throttle body.

Not sure if that is how the prochargers are setup. My tuner told me that if I go blow through make sure there is at least 8" of straight pipe before the maf sensor because you get much better readings that way.
Most people go with one of these on the pipe in the engine bay that connects to the throttlebody elbow.

I see what you mean. I know that this is the way Procharger designed their kits, so all I can do is wait and see how everything works out. If the driveability is poor, I'll have to modify some piping to make the MAF work in the engine bay.
What do you mean? In terms of physical location, yes they are close. But relative to a "schematic" routing, they are far from each other.
That sensor is very sensitive !
Just imagine the amount of movement at the filter location . Especially from a F1 . So just imagine the amount of movement - feedback being sent to your computer .

no dude, they mean that theres a curve in the pipe right before your Mass air sensor, which means the air is going to be a little inconsistent in that area which means your air sensor readings are going to be jumpy which means tuning is gonna be rough and you might have driveability issues. Take out ur air sensor, make that a straight curve and put the sensor right before your throttle body, so theres straight pipe with consistent air hitting the sensor.

Easier said than done. Its what I wanted to do (and what I said in an earlier post), but we'll see how she drives. I know of others who have it this way.
topo much teasing going on in this thread SOS
