I search and i can't find real good pics. I wanted to know with a hiboost kit do u still use both fans becasue it looks like it will hit the piping if u do. Also do I have to relocate the MAF with the kit and a cai. I also running a hks bpv so i guess i have to recurcalate it to the intake. Can some one help me PLEASE....
 
Well to be honest, the directions suck ass and Me and my friend Erik didnt follow them at all. Its fairly easy to get everything in, the problem is making sure the pipes all line up and connect securly. Now with the whole fan deal.. Yes you should be using both fans. The kit should have come with a mounting plate that would replace the stock sidemount. Its pretty much the radiator support bracket. It bolts to the top of the radiator and there should be another bracket for the lower half of the radiator. Now I used the old radiator bracket from the sidemount and just drilled 2 holes in the frame and made it even with the other bracket.

here is a pic if this helps to show you how I ended up mounting the radiator brackets.

Anyways let me know if you need anything else. You need to make sure that you get all the pipes in right or else they wont line up with the intercooler. It took me and a friend like 2 hours just to get the pipes lined up right.
 
Also, what other mods do you have on the msp? are you running the stock airbox or another type of intake. You might have fitment issues if you are running the stock airbox. I think the hiboost kit was made to be used with the Injen or Aem intakes. But i think someone on here has actually made the hiboost fit with the stock airbox... might be a tight fit tho.

I am running the aem intake. I started the car up last night and run ok until i tryed to drive it. I think it was becasue i didn't have that hose hooked up. It started idleing funny and it keep stalling on me.
