That line is fluid feed to the clutch which uses the brake fluid. If you look at the rubber boot that is about a thumb size above the line that will push that gold/brass thing when you push on your clutch. Don't move it or remove it.
See I know my shizit.lol Although I did just put the a tc together.lol

But how the hell did you get the AEM F/IC and the harness for just $270! I paid near $700 for mine!
Oh, and can you get a more top down photo of where the turbo is sitting? I can't follow that top polished pipe.

Your 2nd picture doesnt show the bov being recirc'ed. Did you use the nub on your intake pipe in the 2nd pic? If you did recirc it than you should leave it like that since we run Maf it will run a lot better as long as you dont mind losing the "cool sound".
X2 on the pictures of turbo/downpipe/radiator clearance.
Nice kit though hopefully you dont run into any issues GL! I'll be going to Church's in 1 more day!!!!!!!!

If its not putting a whole lot of pressure on the hard line I wouldn't worry about it since it is a HARD line.

Thanks for the info.
So what exactly constitutes a "Custom" setup? I mean, if all that came in a kit, it's not really custom.
That would explain why it looks so much better then AEN's setup (no offense) as he actually pieced his kit together part by part...the DP being the biggest pain.

The guy who sold me the original kit had it made by a shop up north, and spent over $4500
The manifold is one off as is the dump tube and intercooler piping. Thats what I mean when I say "Custom" kit, as in no one else has it
