Nice looking man :) By the way, I would try to figure a way to get your fan shroud back on to avoid overheating problems with that nice new setup...

yea on the natural air intake side theres a pipe running to maf and a cold air cone. i wont need that shroud soon because i have a electric fan just never got around to putting it on. the plugs are Bosch platinum II, packs are Accell Performance, and wires are Accell 8MM. wires are just little bigger than stock wires.

As I may have found out recently. Remove the filter and run a line to the valve cover.

I wouldn't do that. That will only make the inside of your intake and turbo look like a well used chimney. Just plug the hole in the intake and put the little filter on the breather on the valve cover. If it doesn't fit right on top, put in on the end of hose normally used to attach to the intake.
