I want to see how you guys ran your piping. Specifically the cold side that comes to the throttle body. I pulled my bumper off earlier and looks like theres a bunch of a/c lines and power steering lines in the way.

Chino: Yeah, the cold pipe side gets kinda complicated because of all that. I had to change my power steering lines and use hoses and a 350z power steering cooler. The pictures that I attached are before my accident with my old Apexi intercooler. It's the best example that I can show you.

cold pipe side test fit, before the pipe was taken out and polished.

view of cold pipe to throttle body, very close to electric fans. Luckily, there is some space in between.

I had to buy an oil cooler for the power steering and removed the stock one and I pushed to the side the a/c and power steering lines a bit. I used 2.5" piping since the throttle body is only 2.75". this made running that pipe way easier than the 3"

Just curious, but don't the vehicle specific FMIC kits come with pipework and all the other necessary parts (eg. relocted coolant resevoir tank etc.)? Kits like the HKS Type-S, GReddy V-SPL etc etc...?
