I'm very interested... I would like to help a fellow mf'er get started. I'm curious as to how you did your crossover for the hotside? Did I miss it? Post the details along with more on the switched manifold setup, exactly what all you had to do with the throttle body/cable etc. I agree with you 100% about the design of the other kits, and with the straight through setup of the intercooler; I was actually thinking about this very kind of thing today it's amazing this post came up... but I didn't know there were any mani's available that were turned like yours!
Let me know, or PM me

Ill post pics of the front end after i get back from VT. It looks pretty cool because where the driving lights went you can see the intercooler piping and blowoff valve. And the question about the intake, i had to lengthen the wires to the throttle body and i fabbed a new bracket for the cable. Im currently making a new intake manifold out of aluminum.

Looks like a well thought out setup. The turbo seems to sit a little high to me, but still a sweet overall ride. Great work.
