i found this..its the perfect solution to using a bpv on an ebay kit
http://www.siliconeintakes.com/prod...d=454&osCsid=57a9a1ae5b5aea0ed97dce636aea094d
and this would be a better solution to wagons hotpipe i think
http://www.siliconeintakes.com/prod...d=655&osCsid=57a9a1ae5b5aea0ed97dce636aea094d
..as opposed to having to cut a ubend and make it fit..idkk

concepts are still the same, just your origin point will be slightly different.

bah...you and your supercharger lol
ok so here are the details of my straight up ebay front mount and "Injen CAI replacement" kit:
FIRST: FMIC
all piping is 2.5", my core inlet and outlet were retarded 2.25" size, so had to use reducers, but look for a kit or core that is same as piping, (couplers are cheaper, than reducers!)
what i used:
total of 18 clamps: 2" turbo out, 2x2.25" for my core inlet/outlet, and 15x2.5" clamps.
hot side: 2-2.5" coupler, u-bend, 2.5" coupler, 90deg pipe, 2.5" coupler, u-bend, 2-2.5" coupler.
then -->Interfooler! -->
cold side: 90deg pipe, 45deg coupler, 45deg pipe, 45deg coupler, BOV pipe, 2.5" coupler, MAF, 90deg coupler.
DREMEL rotary tool is basically required. for cutting the metal and plastic throughout the install, man up and buy it, one of the best investments so far.
metal hack saw and a buddy required as well for cutting and holding whatever you need, cant really put the pipes in a vise.
Electric Drill for mounting the front mount. I simply got some long bolts and screwed my core to the crash bar from the top, to try to raise it up as far as possible so it doesnt hit the bottom of the plastic bumper.
also, if you take out ur side mount, u are going to have to make new brackets for: bottom support of the radiator, relocate and bend the original top radiator brace, top radiator fan brace.
here are some pics:
SECOND: SRI
ditch ur Injen cai and make your own short ram.
Very simple: 2-2.5" coupler, 45 deg pipe, filter
(i'll update this post when i get my filter in the mail)

where are your fans? lol
took the ac fan out, gonna replace with a slim one sometime down the line, and the rad fan is still there, in the same spot, that what those pics with the top rad fan brace were about.

just an FYI, you can actually put the pipes in a vice, just use a rag (like a shop rag or something) so you dont **** up the finish
thats what i did when i cut my pipes, worked great

yea...you dont crank the pipes in there, i was using a hand saw, and cutting aluminum
it takes very little force

I did all my cuts on a block of wood with a hack saw... long as you're careful it works just as well.
Okay, so I have my piping ran, but I'm short a few couplers so I can't relocate the MAF. I have 2.25" piping, so what kind of couplers would I need for the MAF to get thrown in there? 2.25"-2.5" reducers? Also, what size is the TB inlet?
And Wagon, where did you get your license plate relocation brackets? I've been looking for something like that.

At the hardware store. Made it out of 1" by 1/8" flat stock.
Also, FYI, the MAF will take a 2.5" coupler if you wrestle it on there. I didn't feel like spending the extra for a reducer. with 2.25" piping you may not have a choice though... By the same logic I would assume a 2.25 could be made to fit over the TB.
