J, the blitz FMIC piping is a ***** to fit because they take a very strange routing that goes behind the headlights. It's gonna be hard to explain to you because you don't own a V300, but basically, after the piping goes behind the headlights, it turns at a 90-degree angle straight up to fit into the turbo outlet. I really don't like the way the piping route is designed because it may create turbulence. You should look into the HKS S-type FMIC which is what I have and the piping goes BELOW the headlights and curves at a nice S-angle to prevent turbulence.

You can also check supraforums.com. Those guys will ascertain to you too that the Blitz is really a PITA to install.

Here's my HKS piping route. You see how the pipe goes BELOW the headlights? Nice curve up to the turbo outlet...
