I'm running a 24" W X 12" T X 3" Thick. 3" inlet/outlet. 3" intercooler piping. Bought a 3" intercooler piping kit and had it cut and welded. A nice 50mm Tial BOV attached also

Spearco from Boostcoolers,mounted all the way up front and plumbed with a Greddy 60MM universal pipe kit.Roughly, 30"x10"x3".....it just fits between the bumper horns and slips into the airdam sides like a cassette.
I did this setup a few years ago,before mandrel bent aluminum IC pipe was common on Ebay.Im gonna go back and re-fab the whole thing with 2.5" pipe and TIG the whole thing,no couplers....

It's just a S5 TII manifold. The primary injectors go in the centre plate of the engine.

Yea,youll have to get custom with the injector placing.
Or you can rebuild the engine with a GSL-SE center plate.That will gain you the primary injector holes and best replicate the stock setup.

My engine is a full S5 TII setup.I like to let the factory do all the engineering,simpler that way.....
