The more boost you run the more critical it becomes.

However you did a great job on the IC hotpipe.

my only dislike is the fact a good size air filter probably won't be abled to be fitted...

Correct, I plan on using an HKS Mushroom filter.. the foam style. I don't think there is enough clearance for a pipe to be added for an outlet that size.

Yeah, there will be a filter there for sure. Just gotta find out what the mouth opening on that turbo is...

This is backwards, if you run 10psi good flow is more critical than if you run 40psi. At 10psi good tank design can make a huge difference in both feel and efficency. At 40psi the air will make sure to use all the available space it can.

Car looks like it's coming along nicely Darren, congrats

You might want to look into the K&N 'shorty' filter I run, I got it from Gotham. Much better than any foam filter......
