intercooler hose runs thru stock airbox:
bov will be hidden in airbox, and stock intake hose will be slit underneath, to wrap over, and hide intercooler hose.

thanks man, Im trying to make it as sleeper as possible. You cant even see the front mount. Im hoping the bov wont give it away. I might have to reroute it back into the system. The only problem now is trying to hide the air intake on the turbo.

I'm actually quite impressed, I remember thinking back when you first started this thread that your project was never going to get off the ground. Props.

not pushing any boost yet, so its hard to tell. Im sure it will work fine tho. Its rated for 140psi, and thick as ----. You can't pinch it, and its got a steel core.

Sweet build. I like the stealth. Turbo and intake are going to be tough. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I've never seen that kind of hose used before, but I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe you'll start a new trend.

Selling that other T25 may have not been such a bad idea, it will probably be a lot easier to find an adapter flange for the VX manifold to this turbo than it would have been the other one.

Good luck, and run more than 5psi for christ's sake.
