^^^^^^^That's pretty cool.... I was thinking about doing something similar to get some colder air to the motor... 
... My gt30 should be on its way soon (thanks revenge) with the DP... I'm not going to put the turbo in till winter comes because I don't want any down time but do you guys think it would be ok to swap the stock greddy DP for the new 3" without getting it retuned or would that warrent a new tune???

You would most likely need a new tune.
the Greddy dpipe is quite restrictive I think... so your boost may increase or you may run leaner.
I would wait until you can get a new tune

Thanks!
Same SN - I usually post in NASIOC, but haven't lately. I pretty much finished the STI - finally!
Updates:
Coolant & oil lines
I used AN female couplers and bulkhead fittings to make "extension" fittings so that the coolant and oil hoses are located farther away from the turbine center section, just to keep them away from the heat. I like how they turned out and it was relatively cheap. female couplers are about $7 and bulkhead fittings cost $6 for straight and $11 for 45*
more pics are up at bottom of post #2

^^^Thank you for sharing those pics.
Locating and mounting the WG actuator is probably the biggest hurdle. But any dedicated amateur grease monkey can do it.
The Greddy mani puts the turbo very close to the engine block, so there
