^^^^I give you props for doing this on your own.

Where are you plannin on mounting the Intercooler?

I am assuming that you are planning on retaining the Y-pipe factory exhaust to feed the single turbo. Have you started mocking up pipe routing up front yet since it will be a single feed from the compressor that will need to split to feed both Throttle bodies?

Turbo inlet screen?
 
On the "other" forum there was a guy who had one of his cats self destruct, which sent metal bits into the turbo - do you use a screen or anything?

It's in the best interest of performance and turbo health to go catless with a setup like this... I'm not really a firm believer of catalytic converters to begin with, though, so whatever :tiphat:

Was that other forum MY350 aka the Douche forum aka where you go if you want to be afraid to ask questions and post your opinion? Also Cats should never be left in your exhaust system for any reason. Besides PETA getting upset, and it being a HUGE restriction in your exhaust, i'm sure a cat self destructing in your exhaust would would probably ruin the paint on your bumper as well as making your car smell like a dead animal after a while.
