o are you talkin about the 400 hp im putting down. yea thats the real pic i have that hose cause i couldnt find anything else big enough to fit over my greddy BOV. And the fence post is 2 1/2 pipe i bent to myself until i buy new pipes. i wanted to try and do everything my self just not cause its mandrule doesnt mean it doesnt work.
i didnt say anything about your "400hp" im talking about how it looks. i hope you do decide to get some decent piping one day cause it just doesnt look to safe lol. buying the piping from a vendor wouldnt mean your not doing it your self anyways. anyways i guess ill just wait to see what it looks like when your done one day.

sorry bro i just seems like whenever i post a pic its flamed cause it aint slammed and it aint perfect. I had the equipment to bend on a hydrolic exhaust pipe bender so i tried it. I wanna new pipes but idk which i want got any ideas i know you tubored what you got. And i hate the garen hose but alot of people in person love it idk. But i had to recirc at the last min it wasnt planned.
go with the piping from zzp, it will really clean it up, ALOT. and if you have to have the garden hose then just hide it lol. i dont know why you have to recirculate your blow off valve though. and here there is a pic of my engine bay on here Phantasm Street Wars, 7/17/11 and the only reason im posting this link instead of telling you to go back a few pages is because this is freakin awesome haha. and its actually taken with a good camera instead of my cell phone lol.
zzp is awesome, thats the only company i have ever bought from that would give me their personal number if i had any other questions or help when i bought their kit. and they didnt mind putting up with me calling a few times lol

no bent fence post gets props 
replace that piping, move the bov right at the exit of the turbo so the recirc is just a short hose and clean up the wiring and she'll be good to go

The recirc hose if just terrible.
It works though... and that's all that really matters, I suppose. Move the MAF into your Cold-Side piping, in a nice, straight section, and then you can lose that recirc. You've also just got a bunch of random wires and stuff lying around the engine bay that really clog things up. Also, lose the LSJ intake manifold. Swap to an LK9 manifold.Good job on doing it yourself... just need to clean it up.

Why did you put the MAF pre-Turbo? Not to mention, the positioning is terrible. Having the filter 1" away from the MAF is bad ju-ju. You'll end up with inaccurate readings due to turbulence and it will hurt your power. The air needs room to calm down and smooth out.

yes agreed im in the process of figuring out how to move the bov and the maf. If i put the maf on the could side there is gonna be a lot of cutting wel not alot but some. aqnd i am going to clean up the wires but most of it is from my stock set up i didnt really add any wires or hoses I have the 2.2 will the ls4 tb fit the LK9
