Ok so look at the second picture where it is circled...its the hose that relocated the Diverter Valve to underneath the air box. I don't know if you can tell, but it is kind of kinked. Is this how its suppose to be?

I don't have this system and I don't like the look of that hose. There are a few others running this setup but I don't remember their hoses looking like that. But it might be because the intake is not designed to be used with the stock airbox. I remember this is why I didn't get this intake after getting my nisei uip. I'm sure if you remove the stock airbox you will have the room you need to remove this kink.

I guess he put it on backwards according to that pic. I thought nisei had said this thing wasn't compatible with the stock airbox.

The direction in which the diverter valve is sending the air back into the intake is wrong. It's headed in the wrong direction it will probably had some effect on the car's performance.

the pipe end that is in the intake box needs to be in the turbo. and the side that is in the turbo needs to be in the intake box. Flip it 180 degrees

yeh what others have said its backwards. I'd change it around so the diverted air flows in the turbo inlet instead of against the incoming intake air.

lol, the turbo inlet is on backwards. you shouldnt even be able to see the hose cause it goes totally under the airbox and inlet pipe.

Intake pipe in that picture is installed upside down. BOV vent line should be on the far driver side at the bottom (nearest the turbo inlet, not the maf).
