No way to make it fit since the turbo has moved forward so much with the new pipes. There is roughly 4" from the end of the turbo to the fitting on the radiator. Im sure this filter will choke it, but I plan to take it off when I race anyway, itll just make me feel better in the mean time.

I was fustrated with my boost controller (eboost street) not doing what it should do so I got a 4port solenoid for it off ebay. The 4 port version works a whole lot better than the 3 port so now I am finally able to keep boost in it. Second time playing with it I set a PR of 6.27@112 with around 20psi. I am very happy with that, especially since my rear tires are getting pretty worn out.
I tried turning it up a little more and this is what happened at about 75% throttle

Overall I am pleased with the setup. It seems the engine is tough enough to handle whatever the turbo throws at it, and the turbo is small enough that it cant break the engine. With some good tires and maybe loosing a little weight I dont think 5.99 is out of the question with a good prep.
