Do you have any photos of an install on vn-vs commo? I have to make a new sc manifold, but I would be interest to see how you have routed the piping. Just to get some ideas.

I'm thinking it's about time I posted some photos of my contraption, just for sh&ts and giggles.

LOL, I have an airbox on mine now. Helps a lot with getting rid of the horrible noise. I plan to keep the tb after the blower in its original position for now. This is for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's nice and easy. Secondly, I can use the cooled air after the cooler and send it back to the inlet side of the blower and hopefully get some cooling benefit from that. I know that ambient would be cooler, but the scream you get when you vent that bypass air is ridiculous.

Looks like a nice setup delcowizid. I had planned it in my head to go the other way though. Ie charger outlet into the left side of the cooler and cold side from the right. Any reason why that's a bad idea?

Yes. That's the largest one I could get that was smaller than the standard one, if you know what I mean. It's supposed to be 8psi.
