Mounted it in the engine bay right on the sideof the airbox. Can barely even see it but it's a nice spot and I used the factory mounting point. I'll get a pic later. It's really nice, with the smaller spring, it only allowed me to push 15lbs when tightened all the way. I installed the thicker spring which came with the kit and now I am doing 18lbs and there's still alot more room to go for more pressure.
2.5" piping, and both sides had to be lengthened. You can get away with lengthening one side only (driver) but the IC will be a few inches off center which I didn't want so both sides were lengthened.
Thanks

Curiously about this, you said you change spring? Where? Into the oem wastegate?
Has you mentionned in my thread, we have almost the same setup, but you have usdm turbo coilpack and injector (lucky man!!) instead of me with everything from the jap 2jzgte!
For now, I have approximately the same intercooler piping as you (greddy are in millimeter I think so converted it's kinda 2.78 inches loll) have a 3 inch exhaust that split into 2.5 dual exhaust. But I've fab myself a downpipe that 2x 21/4 inch from the sandwich plate where the ECV is, that goes into 3inch smootly and it clearly help rising the boost.
Was overboosting 20-21psi. We've take out the front turbo and oversized the wastegate size from 26mm to 33mm. Now I'm boosting 18psi but I want 16. Ceramic turbo you know!
What's about your exhaust?
