I've already backed up my photos and will be deleting my account from them. Screw them.

I took it for a test drive this morning and no problems, I feel greater throttle response and the sound of the turbo and BOV is wonderful, just makes you want to gun it and hear it wooooshhhhh.

It is totally lame as there are a TON of DIY photos that are saved on Photobucket and now none of them that are hosted on sites like this work anymore :|
I agree though. Throttle response goes up but so does fuel consumption as you want to hit the gas a lot more Sounds great too!

Install was straightforward though, this guide helped tons. Biggest issue for me was removing the BOV return hose from the IC pipe. That thing was ****ing sealed on there and when I finally got it off I cut my hand up from pulling up so hard when it released.

I'd either check your install again or show us what your heatshield looks like as it fits perfectly to the frame rail. I'll take some pics in a bit.
Excuse the dirtiness. I haven't detailed the engine bay this spring yet.

It ultimately seems like whether it's better to mount it to the factory intake bracket or the frame rail will depend on how far down/up the cone filter is sitting in the engine bay.
Thanks for chiming in.

As long as its installed and there are no leaks then I guess in the end it doesn't matter.
I tried originally to install it the way the instructions suggested but I could not for the life of me align the heat shield to be square with the intake bracket.
Damn I need to wash my engine bay lol. Seeing the pics on a computer makes it much worse looking :P
Here's a pic of my install. You'll see that the filter sits lower.

Exactly, with my install the filter sits a few inches higher than yours, which is what defines if you can mount to the factory intake bracket or frame rail.
Side note: I'm jealous you have the intake with brushed piping. ETS only offers wrinkle black now and it doesn't match my UICP (brushed piping like yours).

Were you able to mount that heat shield to that bracket so the bolt screws down all the way? For me that was impossible. Kind of strange as to why.
Love the brushed. I wonder why ets stopped that. Potential heat issues maybe.
