I think it looks good. Have you done the CCV mod yet? Can't really tell from the pics. If so, what do you have for a replacement coupler?

Also, you might try loosening the clamp on the CCV coupler (or its replacement) and turning the intake tube until it lines up a little better. You can play with the on from the turbo as well...

EDIT: Also, cut the little alignment tab off the end of the tube so it's not sticking up -- you don't need it anymore.

this post reminds me of a question I was going to ask. I've heard of the uncommon occurance where the filter media got sucked through the turbo. Has anyone thought about a cage inside? cut and roll up some hardware cloth ( rigid screen) and stuff it in there. When it rebounds, fits inside teh filter media??? I know it's risky to put anything inside the filter. Just thinking outloud...

Just my opinion for all it's worth, that sounds like a whole lotta trouble for no reason that makes sense to me. But if you're real bored, have at it.
