The MAF is an sct 2600 and it's in the fender.

She isn't running yet. The base tune won't even get it to idle.

Looks good!!

Since you have all that room because of the nice bumper support why not bring the intercooler forward a little? That way the heat exchanger for the ac and the radiator isn't right up against it. Plus you could leave the power steering lines in their stock position. It also allows the deflector on the bottom of the radiator support to continue deflecting air over the front of the radiator like it's intended to do. I think it would cool even better.

If it's like this the heat exchanger and radiator are helping to heat soak the IC. Plus the air will flow easier through all of them if they're are not stacked right in front of one another. You can also see the air defector at the bottom of the radiator support that will just be deflecting air right on the bottom IC instead over the front of the radiator as intended.

Pic for reference only not mine

Just trying to share info and ideas. Your's looks a lot neater and cleaner than my set up. But I think bringing it forward will make it work more efficiently.

I warn you mine is ugly but I feel it will function well like my last one that stayed around 20-30* over ambient temps at WOT with a 31x12x3" IC. I went to a 31x12x4 today.

With your bumper support, you could do it and make it look good at the same time. I have linked to your pics before so other people could see how good it looked.

If I had that bumper support I would rasie mine and bring it forward another 1". These are old pics of different mock ups I did about 3 years ago. I went to good couplers and T-bolts since

From today

Good luck at the dyno tomorrow.

Well for one I will say everything about the procharger is pure crap from the bracket to the intercooler. You can't move the intercooler forward because they put the discharge on the top instead of making a regular side can style intercooler.

Sorry I couldn't tell what type of IC it was just wanted to discuss it.
