I think the best thing about using PVC piping is if you want to later you can take it all off as one peice and maybe have a shop make some steel tubes.

Dont worry I think it looks alright.

if some one burns you for that bro they need to take their head outa their ***. i think it looks good and i agree with 89 , later you can take it to a shop and get them to bend you some tubing if ya want.

I think it will work fine for now.

As for the engine bay not being pretty enough, right now it is a matter of getting it all together, working out bugs, where everything is going to be mounted, getting a decent tune on it, then the motor is coming back out when he takes the car for paint and body anyways... was his plan.

Well After working on the car all day yesterday I've got the wiring moved to safer locations....looks like it was done by a blind monkey, but it's functional and for now that's all i care about. I also moved the FMU from the firewall to the underside of the frame rail behind the sway bar mount. I don't like it there, but at least it'll be legal for the track.

You can put the coil on the other side of the strut tower and just run your wiring inside the fender. Good luck

Well, I loosely mounted my upper (I only have two bolts for the centre...still need studs for the corners) so I could finish the oulet half of my cold side. Well the EGR spacer puts the TB much closer to the fender than I expected. The way it sits I'm going to have to add so many 90* bends to make it work it's pathetic. I've put all my parts, gonna cover the car and forget about it for a while...I'm fed up with the build and all the little things that keep cropping up right now.
Anyway, here's a pic so you didn't come back for nothing....
