My forward facing setup

It's still in the works, minor parts here and there, tune next month.

I need an opinion on what filter to use, there is about 3.5" between the grill and the turbo. I Fabbed a piece of plexiglass and had it fit behind the grill, mesh is on the turbo for now.

I would cut a hole out of the grill and fit a k&n filter or maybe a perrin filter on there. Looks good.

that how the charge pipe is going to run with the turbo outlet facing the drivers side? seems like a lot of extra bends/unnecessary work to make the connection. looks sick otherwise!

Looks like the only way it can face, That's the furthest I've seen a turbo stick out of the engine bay. It's basically on top of the fmic. It looks like if he were to radius it any other way there would be no room w/o cutting up the car.
