Ay up Paul, I'm a sheet metal engineer and yeah I've done a couple of turbo installs before also intercoolers but never done my own so thought it was about time, bit of work below what I've done before in the past..

Why does the intake/air filter have to stick out the side, do you lose much power by placing it more aesthetically.

Those purple connectors look like aircraft pipe connectors, I've got some left over from a mod at work, they're blue (water) the purple ones are for something else 💩👍😃

Could put a bend on a face it forward but don't think it would bring it in anymore, when the rad is on it doesn't look too bad, it's a simple change so could opt for smaller one when it's all done if I'm not pleased with it, the filter came with the turbo so just toying with it all at the mo.

I've got these 2 'wiggins' clips, they're for pressurised water on a 747 unfortunately they're only the inner sleeves without the clamp, are they of any use to you ?

They're linked/sprung inner halves with an outer sleeve, perfect fit 3" diameter.

Personally, I think it's difficult to beat YAMAHA OE quality

Adapted, could the EXUP valve housing mount a TURBO ?

This is nice as well ( from an engineering point of view)
