Yeah the factory air guide is out...im going to have to do something custom for the under tray. My car didn't have one when I bought it.
Did a few things today.
Does my turbo make my filter look fat?
Trying to get the intercooler piping all finished...the damn idle control tube is proving to be annoying but Ill get something figured out. I had a bung welded in to put a hose barb in the intercooler pipe and Ill make a silicone tube work.
And due to popular demand I went ahead and had this done. Why ask questions if you aren't going to listen to the answers? So I listened.

I'm not sure if there's a better filter. That part of the bay gets really hot and vibrate-ey, and the weight of the filter is basically fighting the coupler it's glued to. Mine melted after a couple months. Gordon's melted after a couple months. K&N's too, not some cheap junk

Sorry Tony, I just get bent like my rod when I remember that damn melted filter. Doesn't help when I have had a few beers and they cancel the last race of the year. Not to mention my freakin' POS leaky BOV. Don't mind me, carry on with your awesome build.

No, unfortunately it is one more connector to swap along with the coil and injector connectors and such. But it sure looks nice.
Here's the connector kit from Corsa Technic for $2.44
Mechanically, though, the S2 throttle bodies are identical for NA and NB applications. They use a different little adapter plate for the different valves.
