For the record, the blue couplings are almost all gone and I am having new IC charge piping fabricated as we speak with black couplers and powdercoated gunmetal grey piping. It should look fantastic.

Considering that stock NB01 has a hole behind the headlight already I don't think it's too big of a deal. I copied the hole from the drivers side to the passengers side and routed both my charge pipes the same way.

The lights will plug in, but will not line up with the bumper cover. To do it right, put in NB2 lights and NB2 bumper cover. So I have read many times and places.

If I had to do the above I might not have gone that route. I forgot how much a pain the previous generation lights were.
However, many people prefer the NB2 lights so if you can get a bumper cover and lights, color match etc, you may be happier in the long run.
I don't recommend one over the other, I'm just trying to give options.

The cold side is a piece of cake, and I don't think the hot side is too bad either. Use 2" pipes, or the FM silicone, and you can route it without the cutting of steel, or pulling the fenders.
Nice looking car, by the way. On a trailer, does it run? *EDIT* (asking Lars)
*EDIT* Oops, hijack, sorry OP.

you could do that.
or just order the couple pipes you need for traditional routing.
or make a hole behind the bloated 99-00 headlight.
or get 01+ headlights.
I really didn't see a good way to route 2.5" piping all the way to the turbo though. Its just too big (what she said)
