Pics of the new engine bay...
I'm making my LICP and UICP for my Magnus thursday. I'm also welding my MAP sensor boss onto the magnus and welding on a lathed boss for the dipstick tube after modifying the tube. I had to do a bit of rewiring to get the harness how I wanted (I'm on my 20th+ iteration)
I'll probably go with brushed aluminum. Black couplers and a TiAL bov. Unfortunately I have a polished TiAL bov and not the black one... so it won't be uber JDM.
I got the FP Red with the 80mm cover and the 3" intake from them w/out the recirc. I'll try it and if it doesn't work I'll sell the piping and try again.
As you know I ALMOST bit on the TSHTA35R setup... couldn't pull the trigger. Maybe this winter.

^Croat?! My best friend's wife is too (of course, I'm sure a lot of people are...haha). How'd you like that Mirko fight? I was wondering if it might be the flash. Makes everything liven up unnaturally.
Ernie, which TiAL do you have? I have the 50mm and it is black. If you really want to go that direction let me know and I'd probably swap ya. Speakin' of the TiAL, I still gotta get in there and snip that spring a bit.

You have no idea... before with the BOV, with the long recirc would take just enough time to stabalize after it shut after shifts to really mess up my shifts in the 1/4 mile, now with everything centrally located and with the BOV recirc flange at an angle into the intake the BOV is ALOT more quiet, and recovery time for shifts are much improved!
^brand spanking new. I just got it when I went with the Magnus + Red, so less than 1000 miles or so? What about yours? BTW - are you also running speed density? Previously I assumed you weren't, but with the TiAL you probably are.
Send me a PM so we can go offline.

BTW - here is a pic of my <fuggin' dirty> engine bay as a comparison. I went with the flat black pipes from ETS during my last round of updates, so not as much for the flash to catch. Also, I still have the stock, grungy, mani cover (obviously).

Much better.
I always found it semi-pointless to run "upgraded" IC pipes if you didn't take advantage of the short routing and small battery. The short route pipes make for a much cleaner engine bay, as well as less piping - and you get to remove a bunch of weight with a small battery.
When is R/TErnie making some of that action for his car...

I just ordered the ETS one the other day....haven't had a chance to put it on though.
On topic. Your bays look so nice and clean. I can't post mine here at all
