Nice install pics. I am just curious did you have to slightly move the ABS out of the way for the IC piping/compressor housing of the turbo?

I did move the brakes lines slightly then I heat insulated them to keep them from heating up. Lots of small detail stuff to do.
As far as the maf its going in the upper intercooler pipe near the blow off valve.

personally i would've routed the IC pipe by the throttle body more straight and gotten a better IC. but for 7psi i think it'll be fine. good luck with your build.
