Honestly though, although any setup with the stock crossover tube is a little easier, eliminate it if you can, you can't clamp it very tight and it's more likely to blow off under boost.
There is an excess of pipes and couplers there, although I'm not sure what the most efficient version would be.

Whenever it gets on the dyno I'll see whats happening under the hood and grab a video.

If you want a 90* intake elbow, I have one I could sell for like, $15 shipped. It's like your AFM filter adapter, but it immediately takes a 90* downward turn. It allowed me to go straight from my turbo, to the AFM, to a filter behind the radiator. Not the best placement, but it wasn't sitting on top of the fender either. PM me if interested.
You can see it in this picture. Like I said, an immediate 90*. Or build one yourself.

I like my AC and I have no PS, thanks very much
The orange tubing bent where I figured it would near the turbo, that area will be blocked off and tubing will be routed to the other side of the valve cover instead.

no air from the intake to get into the valve cover.
put a breather on the other side so I decided to block it off for time being to make sure no weird idle or unmetter air issues came up.
now I will be pulling a vacuum from the exhaust instead of the intake.
ALso: ninja edit I see

I bought a MS2 off diyautotune today and hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. I plan to get it installed and tuned this weekend. I will also need to buy some injectors, my plan is 320cc specV injectors off a sentra.

Installed MS2, 460cc rx7 injectors, exhuast\muffler
Changed reg fuel to 6.2 and swapped in the 460cc fuel table from diyautotune. With hour of driving and tuning got a rough cruise tune down around 14\15s soem spots still 13s, but so far good. Also tested in boost, little too rich need to lean out certain boost cells.
I was surpised at how well it started on the 460cc injectors with only those changes.

I got some of my intercooler piping in, Duct Hose from mcmaster carr. We are gonna give it a try and see the outcome.
Looking for a intercooler like the TrackDog Racing unit.

See below:
I believe it was this one:

I think I'm about 300 deep into my intercooler set up including the cost of welding my IAC, WG input and BOV flange, the silicone elbows as well as some overpriced .25" 6061 from McMaster - I got the IC cheaper than the 230 on the website so that helped.
