Before we go further; when BHR does GReddy-type turbo installs we use the AEM 21-485 intake system and it pretty much is a bolt in CAI for those turbo installs. Does this interest you or would you rather pursue a piece-by-piece set up? I am trying to make things as simple as possible for you.

Ah, yes, Easy_E1 handles the intercooler mounting brackets when we do GReddy installations. He fabbed up a set that I am considering offering the market just to make intercooler mounting easier because the GReddy bracket is terrible.
Anyway, the stuff I used for Phil's system were;
1) K+N #RX-4140 air filter.
2) Vibrant #2892 (3.5" aluminum tube, 18" length).
3) Vibrant #2745 (90-degree silicone coupler).
4) Worm-gear clamps, 4 needed, sourced locally.
The 3.5" pipe gets cut to the lengths needed and the rest is obvious where it goes.

I can't remember which movie that line was from but it seemed appropriate right now......
Speaking of nitrous installs ('cuz I love thread-jacks, even in my own threads
), keep an eye out for Flashwing's new system. Zex Blackout, BHR Spacer, BHR Nozzle, Zex remote opener, Zex purge kit, and all installed by yours truly with help from Easy_E1 and Flashwing. Easy did some really cool fabbing that resulted in another cleeeean BHR installation.
End thread-jack.

I want-! 
Question- Wiring a NOS kit is as easy as wiring an underglow kit, and adding an intake (Spacer) no?? Besides running the Fuel Line which Im sure is EASY
as well?

got everything done as much as we could for now. couldn't figure out the oil leak. Jegs is sending me 2 new AN fittings to replace but were still not sure thats the problem. i will probably be taking the car to Sage Auto to finish getting everything done and fix the oil leak.
i still have to wait for some intake pieces and my radiator. still need to tune as well.
i would like to give a huge thanks to Patrick(g3tr3ddy2gr3ddy) for helping with the install, and Charles R. Hill for the help with parts and making sure i was taken care of.

just to give you an idea though, i paid $1500 for the base Greddy turbo kit and $1050 for the BNR upgrade. most the other stuff i bought from vendors and other forum members. there's good deals out there, you just have to search very hard. GL trying to find a kit for $1500 though.
