yeah no s*** right. well everything is pretty much together...well almost.
i've been taking breaks and not working so hard at it. lol. i'm way to tired for this, especially w/ 4hours of sleep.
the injen intake is on. and i really didn't feel like moving that tank, so i didn't do it yet.
i had a friend come over and put the hks bov on cuz i couldn't get it. meanwhile i let my little brother play around w/ my car. tried to keep my girlfriend entertained instead of bitching.
so now where i'm at. the fan is on. the cold pipes are on. the U hot pipe is off so i had more room to work.
I need to move that tank for the intake. and i cut the hose from the injen intake so i could fit the stock tube for the bpv on and i'm thinking that i need new hoses or elbows cuz it's a tight fit.

Good luck, sounds like you are getting closer. Man I did not have near this trouble.
If you didn't figure out the black bracket (could quite tell from your posts), the black braket is used to hold the bottom of your radiator up. The rubber grommet fits into the hole on the black bracket, so the radiator stays snug. At least from what I remember.
The L bracket holds up something the stock pipes held up by the TB. Its a sensor or something. The new IC -> TB pipe does not have the bracket to hold this.... so they provide an L bracket to mount it off a blot on the top of the TB. I hope that helps.... it has kinda been a while for me.

UPDATE!! this install sucked. but it's all working now. i have a vid but it's 12mb and done know where to host it.
1st impressions - car was running pig rich. and didn't notice much of a difference.
i switched my bpv around so that it recirculates into the intake (like it's supposed to)
throttle response was better. the car stopped popping so much.
power is there. tires break loose waayyyyyy too easy now.
on the way to work the car died cuz of the hose behind the front grill came loose.
The clamps were tight as can be. I made it to work.
good thing i brought my tools w/ me.
i need to go buy a bigger coupler now.
thanks to everyone for their help.
and btw - i have NO turkey
where the small hose on the bpv goes into the "T" fitting, i put another "T" fitting there to feed my vacuum on the hks ssqv.
i will take pics when i get home from work.

Paul,
When placing the hoses, put the clamps as close to the edge as posible and make sure that the clamp is after the pipe bead, not on the bead. This will ensure that the hose will not come loose. The idle is supossed to be as stock. If it is dipping, then there is a vacuum leak or one of the BOVs is not sealing properly.

i'm going to play w/ the pipes a little more to ensure that they won't come loose.
I think the idle dipping is no big deal really. everything is tight, i think it just may take a day or 2 for the ecu to relearn.
the idle doesn't dip at every stop, only every now and then. so i'll give it a day or 2 and see what happens.
thanks
