One thing that I have never understood about the turbo kits and such. Why the hell is the filter so high in the engine bay. I mean wow that is one really nice Warm Air Intake!
But besides that comment the install looks good man. What PSI and ecu management are you running?

-easiest way to fit the filter on... cold air on a turbo would be nice...but lots of bending... lots of pipe... I'm getting a vented hood soon so that might help a lil.
7psi...when it works right lol...yanked the turbo off sent back for a new one...was burning alot of oil. stock ecu...running 12:1 vortech fmu for fuel...everything else is stock... will be getting 440 injectors with safc this week.

Did you find out what was causing the SMOKE problem?
turbo was burning oil...there was a bad seal between the comprossor side and the exhaust side allowing oil to leak into the exhaust stream and since the exhaust is so hot it just instanly vaporized the oil and turned it into blue smoke...will have a new turbo next week hopefully.
*TRIPLE POST OF THE MONTH AWARD!!!*
