I usually order one of the eBay generic 3.0" polished kits with asst silicone couplers/clamps and then order the specialized couplers (ie: 4.0 to 3.0" 90, etc) from Silicone Intakes. Great service and pricing. They're not a Sponsor so you will have to Google their website.

I had a blow off valve on my last prochager setup and had no issues. I have never heard of issues with a procharger and a vent to atmosphere style blow off valve. Unless it is mounted to close or after the MAF senser or the BOV is just too small for the volume like the greddy type S. When I talked to procharger they reccomended I upgrade to the racegate that is sold in a vta and recirc. version. They said they only advantage to the recirc. was its quiter. Plus I already had the tial 50mm blow off valve and it can only be setup for vta. Otherwise I probably would have set it up to recirculate.

Looking good! I love it mounted up there way better than in the bumper.
I'm just wondering if you happen to have any more photos of how the intercooler is mounted behind the grill, and the routing of the charge pipes if you can, front both front and back and around headlights?
Is this a complete FMIC kit, is it a procharger intercooler? part #?
I'm looking into a single turbo set-up, but it would be essential for me to run the intercooler in the main grill since I do not run a lower valence on my truck, but I have heard several issues with mounting the IC in the main grill.
Do you have a 34" radiator?
Was there any cutting of the grill, or the plastic around the headlights?

I would not add any length to the inlet side of the blower... the best setup is a filter direct to the housing. Surprised no one mentioned that to you. Should be a great setup. Goodluck!

Treadstone is a great supplier and sells top notch product. I'm using one of their FMIC's on my twin kit. The CXRacing tubing is the same thickness but I have no idea about the grade. I've never tried to have it tigged so I don't know how weldable it is. It doesn't have any clear coat so it should weld okay.
