XS IC W/ Blitz SUS Can it be done?

I have had a Blitz SUS intake for about 9 months now and just bought a used XS power IC and looks great but came with only the piping and clamps with hose and IC. There is a mount for the Coolant Tank on it but thats it. Where does it go from there. I have the stock IC out and all brackets off the crossmember which the stocker bolts too. What holds it in place besides the plumbing? Also the Blitz intake is way too big and through my research after the fact of buying it I can't find any resolution at this point. Pics would help me and by the way its a 93 R1 so has the factory strut tower brace. Thinking of hacking up the blitz to fit it but hate to if there is a better alternative. Also does the air pump have to go and if so what to do about the belt on the water pump? Still a newbie here so all the help the better. I now have 2 93 rx-7's and been into them for 3-4 years but advice always is appreciated. God Bless.

PS what BOV is the best to use with this system?

The only thing that holds it in (AFAIK) is the plumbing, and the duct if you have one. Mine is in there tight enough that it can't move, but I also put some rubber over the crossmember in case it did bounce up and down.

The airpump doesn't have to go, but it is a tight and imperfect fit with the r1 strut brace and airpump.

Don't know anything about the blitz intake, sorry.

Oh, and unless you really want a different bov, just keep the stock one and put a block off plate over the flange on the piping.

Thanks but I think a newer BOV would sound better anyway and would free up room to fab for the intake I am probably going to have to build. By the way I can just block of the old BOV ports right? That is as soon as I place a new one in, thanks for the response. Anyone have this with the Blitz, if not what intake are you running? God bless.
