The intake was pressure tested at 100psi. The external "pretty" carbon is for decoration and looks. Underneath that is the aerospace carbon which is way more sturdy and can handle the boost. The BOV should open before the pressure gets too high anyways right?

That roll bar is still sitting in my garage if you wanted it.

IMO I say just ditch the whole tt set up unless you have plenty of dough for a good tuner. Just get a Maggie and call it a day. Car is looking great.

Todd, I have the same manifold coming and I have thought of the same thing, I will wait and see when it gets here.

John a little of all the part's and you should get clearance.
