FMIC Setup Question

I was looking In my Engine Bay the other day to forsee my suggested setup In the near future. And all I could say Is damn, this Is going to be a tight setup!

I have plenty of room with my East Bear Headlight Kit on the passengers side to run piping for the FMIC and to run true ram cold air for the Intake Filter that will be ending at the Brake Duct (s5 Bumpers coming soon. Brake Duct Is massive compared to the s4 one.)

On the driverside, I have minimal room at best. I'm running the biggest Interstate battery you could get for our cars and don't see the piping running through. Am I wrong? The battery fills the tray smack on and raised It's hight about an 2 Inches.

I don't mind relocating the battery If I have too, but are you guys getting away with my proposed setup?

Pics would be nice.

I am running the Greddy piping on my drivers side with my Optima redtop. Tight, but it all fits. I'll get some pics later.

2.5", good enough for a stock turbo, though if you have plans for a 60-1 or larger I would try for 2.75 or 3".

The R spec kits have all 2.5" the VSPL for the stock turbo has a 2.5" out of the intercooler and a 2.25 from the turbo to the intercooler. HOWEVER, the endtank on the VSPL is still a 2.5" inlet and just uses a silicon reducer for the pipe, so you can goto a 2.5" pipe there if you ever need to (and you do if yuor turbo gets bigger than stock or a small hybrid).
