Radiator hose for the DV to intake pipe, and a 3" coupler to connect the MAF to the intake pipe. Any auto parts store should carry these parts.

edit: If you can, take the DV with you to the store so you can get the right size hose, I don't remember what size was needed but should be easy to match up.

+1 on radiator hose for BOV.

For intake to MAF....its not that easy. I have the same intake and I had trouble finding all the damn couplers. You need 2.75 to 2.5 for the turbo-intake, 4 to 3inch for the intake-MAF, the hks MAF adaptor or another 4inch MAF adaptor (no idea who makes it other than HKS), and 4 to 4inch coupler from MAF adaptor to HKS filter.

Stock turbo inlet is 2.5", MAF is slightly over 3" but you can use a 3" coupler to whatever size the intake pipe is. (I know this for a fact because it is what I used on my car when I was on MAF)

Yea I meant 2.5 > 2.75 cause the HKS intake's turbo side is 2.75. I think the MAF is actually 3.15'' or something but with a lot of patience and WD40 I got a 3'' on it.

I actually have 2 out of the 3 blue HKS couplers: the one for the maf and the other that connects the intake to the turbo. A friend gave me the HKS intake a few years ago and I never installed it. PM me your info and paypal me $5 and I'll ship the 2 couplers to you this week. I don't have the one for the bov though.

yea i was just looking at that and wondering how it would work, for the intake to maf the intake is significantly bigger than the maf side. i don't think the autoparts store will have 2 differnt sizes on one coupler

When I bought my HKS from my friend it was missing some couplers.

I got all of my replacement couplers and t-bolts from here:

I got all of mine from STM because they use high quality 4 ply silicone that comes in almost every size, transition, shape, etc.

STM has reducer couplers that do this. One side is larger than the other to fit whatever you need: http://www.streettunedmotorsports.co...r_couplers.htm
