Bloody hell, I wish I could afford this right now. My cheap ebay intake is held in place by the TB coupler and some creative zip-tie work. I *need* this damn box.

Is this going to be still available in 3-5 weeks, when I've got my expired plates un-expired and my engine tune-up done and get paid again? (Sadly they're both taking priority - the plates because they expired in Feb and the tune-up because, well, as ashamed as I am to admit it, I have been very very cruel to my poor baby's engine for the last couple years.)

theres like 5 left atm, so you should be able to get one. in couple weeks,

unless everyone get them installed and flood the forum with pics, then ppl might rush in to buy the the remaining 5 XD
 
guess rich must be busy on welding the piping kit or sanding the edge of the box these days. oO just hope they get mailed out before the end of the month
 
Will post up pics as soon as the finished boxes come back from the welder. Couplers and pipe kit materials shipped today and are on the way to me. Acrylic for windows arrives tomorrow and I'll get those cut out and ready to install by Wednesday. Filters scheduled to arrive Thursday. Boxes for shipping and packing material is scheduled to arrive Friday.

Sorry for that... my parts have always taken awhile to get done. If I could weld like Wes or Skip things would get done a lot faster, but in the end I just coordinate it all and try to get cool parts to a limited and forgotten market.

^^nice, glad to see you're getting the money.

I have a local friend interested after he saw the pics...He's been sourcing parts for a custom turbo system, so neither of us are exactly sure what he will need yet...but he'll be there for the installation of my CAB, and if he decides to do it too I'll just buy another from you at that time (depending on what you have left over) and he'll pay me...He isn't a 'forum guy', whatever that means haha.
 
Small issue here N/A and MSP guys. These air filters are a tiny bit larger than the simota I used when mocking up the "MAF inside the box kits". The extra inch is making things extremely tight.

So these are the options:

1. MSP guys - Relocate your MAF to the charge pipe, then slap a 3" filter of your choice inside the box. Everything else is perfect.
2. N/A & MSP guys - Buy a K&N SN-2580 filter. This filter is smaller and everything else will now be perfect.
3. N/A & MSP guys - Unbolt the box and slide it over towards the passenger side when installing the filter, and when removing the filter for cleaning. After the filter is in place and clamped you can slide the box back over and bolt it down.

Option 3 is what we are going to have to roll with for now because I'm just simply tapped out and can't afford to do a free upgrade to the K&N or completely redesign the piping kits to fit the MAF outside the box. Putting the MAF between the box and turbo on the MSP isn't even an option at all, because the MAF will get tripped out from having the BPV return port so close to it (I've seen this before on the Injen and AEM prototypes way back in the day).

I feel terrible about this and I'm very sorry that things will be harder to install and harder when cleaning the filter. The listed dimensions for these filters is the same as the Simota, but they are definitely larger overall when placed side by side. The Simota is no longer available here in the US so I had to deviate from the original mockup plan. Again, very sorry for any hassle this causes on install, but with a little extra work everything fits and will work fine.

Everything else is coming along great, I have all of the lids back from bending and the first 10 boxes are welded up. They turned out absolutely fantastic.

I was working on the piping kits today when I found the snag with the MAF, but due to scrambling around and playing with that I probably won't get finished completely on all of them today. I am going to work on this stuff all weekend though, so they will all be done here shortly.

I have the acrylic here for the lid windows ready to cut and install. After the fasteners are mounted up and the boxes get touched up with the buffer I will get those windows in, and the box only orders will start going out next week. Piping kits will be going to the welder for BPV and VCB ports Monday or Tuesday, and will hopefully be back to me before the end of the week.

Super close now guys. (rockon)

rich if you dont mind i want my silicone humps and couplers Blue to match the others i have in my engine bay... damn the boxes looks so ******* awesome i cant wait to have mine .... keep making sick toys for us. i dont mind waiting its well worth it
 
I don't mind paying a bit extra for the K&N filter or just buying it on my own. They look amazing and I just want mines! LOL
 
that makes me wanna relocate the MAF oO

how much more if i ask for 3 extra black couplers 2.25"straight , 2.25-2.75 straight and 45 degree

See the giant 4" blue couplers on the table? Those are yours.

Relocating it is definitely the better setup anyway.

2.25" straight - 7.99
2.25"->2.75" straight - 11.99
2.25"->2.75" 45* - 19.99

I'll be sending you a PM here probably tomorrow to finalize your cutout location before I cut it.
 
So just to make sure I am getting it straight...

The included filters are a little big, but still fit...just make installation a little harder?

And the k&n part number listed will fit in the box more like the design intended?

No problems from me, just making sure I understand haha.
