Test Fitting Looks Good!
Using a 90* silicone coupler I can use my exisiting intercooler piping (with slight modifications):
Downpipe is cutting it close to the heater hose, but I should be able to get it out of the way (water by-pass would help[but I'm too cheap]):
Intake piping fits like a glove / heatsheild still fits:

Looks good! I'm sure you could bend the heater core pipe a little to get more room. I needed more room than that, so I shortened the factory pipe and rewelded the end onto it. That's an option also, but it looks like you should be able to just bend it a little.

The circled holes:
Turbotim: Exactly what I was planning on doing, should give me more than 1" of clearance, about what I had before with no problems. I'll probably wrap another layer of the heat sheild as well.

i think begi uses a new coolant tube that reroutes that heater hose.

Yeah I know, it also moves the lower radiator hose. Both would be benificial in my case. But no worries.

looks positivley breedable
the water re route should cost no more than $40 if you buy a new 1.6 thermo housing
1.6 thermo housing
random 1.25" rad hoses
2-3 feet of 1.25" aluminum tubing
hose clamps
30mm freeze plug
not sure on keeping the heater though, dont need it where im at
