Hmmmm that looks close to the exhaust
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e73/MikeMarnik/fmic002.jpg
Yup it sure is. (im going to wrap it with exhaust wrap along with probally the first foot or so of the downpipe)
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e73/MikeMarnik/fmic003.jpg
Man it looks like that bov sticks up a bit high
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e73/MikeMarnik/fmic004.jpg
Yup sure does (slightly hits the hood im having The Shop Inc re weld it flush to the pipe on friday along with having them weld on another bracket to the fmic to hold it in place THE SHOP INC FTMFW)

MMMMM all hard piping now, IM BALLIN!!
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e73/MikeMarnik/fmic005.jpg
so im trying to decide if i should wrap all of the ic piping with heat wrap or just do the one pipe off the turbo near the exahust.
Then if i dont wrap it all should i leave it bare aluminum or have it powder coated gold or black.

o and, atleast wrapping it around that pipe thats close to the exhaust, it wouldnt look too bad black or gold imo.

meh im not so much for the super shiny bling bling. granted i have a gold valve cover but its more tastefuly and helluva lot easier to keep looking good than something polished

So why is the piping hitting in two different places? Bad motor mounts, or is the kit just just a hair off on measurement or something?

its only hitting on the bov the rest is in great placement and the motor mounts are prothan motion control insters so def not bad. and the bov hitting is a lame ass fab up from the person who designed it and didnt wanna do any sort of difficult weld so he put a 1in pipe inbetween the flange and bov which is getting fixed tomorrow

well removing silver/aluminum color would eliminate one color and if i end up pcing my ic pipes im gonna get black couplers becuase blue just doesnt fit anywhere

that turbo will never spool again the compressor and exhaust wheels hit their housing and ruined the wheels thus its more expensive to fix than buy a new one. i will be saving my pennies for many months to get a baller ass set up. all i will say is $1200 minimum

Just get them painted by a car painter, it's what I did and it has held up great, even the hot side.
