Here's the bumper off, with the stock TMIC and everything still in.. waiting for her to cool down more. A couple of those retarded plastic clips on the wheelwell didn't want to come off:

My buddy Pete managed to over torque and snap this bolt that holds a mounting bracket, lol. That's okay, because I snapped one elsewhere. Also, we each managed to drop something into the engine bay, but were able to fish it out in like 5 mins, haha

Close up of HKS Bov and both pipes:

My buddy Pete doing all the hard work, while I smoked some butts outside, lol. I'll blame the boost leaks on him, haha. No, we we're both working on all the pipes:

Looking good. I'll be posting up my custom fmic sometime soon whenever pipe routing gets figured out.
 
looks rly nice man! hopefully you get the boost leaks figured out soon


Thanks man! Yeah, I'm bumming about the boost leaks, but a buddy is gonna help me hunt them down tomorrow and take care of them.

Looking good. I'll be posting up my custom fmic sometime soon whenever pipe routing gets figured out.

Thanks, and good luck with the custom fmic. I know most people end up moving their washer tank because it's right there on the passenger side, and usually in the way.
