just want to make sure I am doing it the rite way in round two and figured I would make and post this to double check whilst I wait for my piping and ic to come in. The only thing I am not sure about is should the iat sensor be on the intercooler or the piping after the intercooler and before the diverter?

Yeah, what I said doesn't actually make sense...and the iat I was planning on putting into the end tank on the cold side of the ic, but I could put it in the piping also. Really want to make sure it will be cooled by the air to avoid heat soak.

T the MS line in with the FRP line, you'll have much less noise there. And then T the boost gauge line off of that one inside the cabin, makes for easier and less hose routing.

Looks great, I will probably run the line from the tee into the car and under the dash I will tee once again for the boost meter and megasquirt. Is there any benefit to having a filter on each line or could you just have 1 filter after the tee off of the fpr? I feel the latter is the better but would like someone elses input.

I wouldn't.
If you do this, then boost will decrease as RPM increases. The reason is that pressure drop across the IC is a function of the mass flow per unit time through it. The more air you pass through the IC, the more pressure you lose across it.
If your MBC is referenced to pressure before the IC, then pressure after it will decrease correspondingly. By placing the MBC takeoff after the intercooler (but before the throttle) then the system will maintain a constant pressure after the IC by gradually raising pressure before it to compensate for this drop.
