Plumbing…need some more bits so progress has stalled…

Drivers side basically plumbed in..awaiting a couple of silicone couplers and I should be able to button the front up…

Ok, intercooler is plumbed in…no major surprises…you will need a 21/2” to 3” coupler to tie into the throttle body…also a 45 degree coupler for the passenger side connection…add and additional 2 1/2 90 degree coupler to the mix…I wound up cutting one of the Siamese pipes on the passenger side once it made it past the core support…then added the 90 to the intercooler connection…
Here’s where it gets funky…I want to eliminate the s pipe that came with the witsend kit…and emulate the cruiser and co set up…the only way I can see this happen it to relocate the MAF closer to the turbo

 

[Fosters]

MAF relocation done…needed another 3”-3.5” coupler to connect to the airbox and also a 3”-2.5” coupler to pair up with the 135* elbow. Also had to lose the tuna can on the air box due to the clocked turbo and intercooler connections
Sadly my OEM washer fluid bottle will not fit dues to the watergate being in conflict
