Did you order Kraken's intercooler piping or DIY?

I ordered Krakens full kit. I didn't like the way the kits piping was set up. So I reclocked the discharge and used an FM hose. It made an air filter setup much easier and I think it makes for a cleaner looking install.

Really like what you did with the intercooler piping and filter.

What do you have going on with the wastegate and turbo vacuum lines? Do you have the EBC mount somewhere else?

I came across since you gave some good advice on a EFR overboost issue (I've been having the same issue) and you seem to have a similar build as myself.

The bypass valve is sourcing vacuum from the manifold. The EBC is mounted in the stock EFR location and sourcing its signal from the turbo discharge, just like it was set up when I pulled it from the box. You just can't see it because of the filter elbow.
