Corksport FMIC install issue

So I'm almost done installing the fmic and I have 2 problems.
1. The intercooler piping going from the throttle body down to the core is touching a coolant pipe. I see no way of rerouting anything to not heat soak.
2. Stock BPV is positioned just like in the pics, but the vacuum line won't reach. Corksport tells you to take it off, but the instructions never show it being put back on.
Any help would be awesome! Thanks!
 
You might have figured this out by now but you may have to live with the rubbing on the coolant line. This car was designed to have a TMIC which makes an FMIC fit very tight. Also, the Corksport kit was designed to be VTA which is probably why it is not in the instructions. Give them a call and see what they say about the recirc line.
 
+1000 for the rubbing. I wrapped my intercooler pipes with heat tape.. Deflects the heat away from the pipe and some cusion for the rubbing.
