... and some significant relocation of the a/c dryer
I was going to do a mini v-mount setup but even after relocating everything in preparation and trial fitting a couple of ICs I do not like the way the IC is going to fit. Therefore I think I will be going with an over-the-top like you have here but with a 16"x11"x3" IC instead. Even a 4" or 5" deep one would fit. There is a lot of room in there with the radiator and a/c tilted back.
Looks good man!

Well I mean relocated as in no longer in the stock position. I bent the dryer retainer bracket so that the dryer is farther to the left (looking from the front of the car) and that opened up some room. But it won't go far enough to get a 24" in there before hitting the frame structure on the left side from what I can tell?

Yeah, but I didn't want to see an offset IC.
The Hella horns are going to be relocated, as I don't really like the way they look there.
The car runs like ****, mostly because of my tuning abilities (or lack of), but luckily I am running open wastegate. I just need to get my MAF less tune refined. (see post in Emanage section)

OK I measured it out. It looks like if the dryer bracket is bent all the way over to the left there is 24" of space between the drier and the right side of the radiator inlet area. But it would mean offsetting the IC. Coastertrav, looking at the pictures, it looks like you removed and/or cut some stuff on the far left side to create room for your drier, right?
