Custom HKS Twin Turbo G35 Project
This is the first I have heard of this...whats wrong with OEM? I always try to use OEM parts whenever possible.
I have no idea what whp it is putting out. I am on a stock block so its only running about 6.5 psi. The stock 245 rubber will spin every time when the boost hits in 2nd on a dry road in a straight line. I wouldn't be surprised if it went high 12s at the strip.

Awesome post! Just read through the entire thing 
Did you have a shop tune this or did you do it yourself? You seem to be quite the DIYer and fabricator...
Also, I used to live in MI, sucks I am not there now I would love to see all your work!

If your blow off valve is heating the air in your engine bay you have bigger problems than BOV placement. Moving a BOV will not give you colder air your BOVs release the air going to your throttle body after it went through the intercoolers and I doubt it is hotter than the air coming through the radiator that it sits beside. If you are unsure of this go drive your car for 30min then go touch your intake pipe then touch your radiator, report back which is hotter.
What does a BOV do? When your throttle closes it causes pressure to build in your intake trac because the turbos/SC have pushed the compressed air into the intake track when the throttle closes it no longer has anywhere to go. The BOV releases the excess pressure so you don't get compressor surge in your turbos/supercharger.
PS don't allow that shop to even change the oil in your car if they don't know what a BOV does they shouldn't be working on FI cars.

A BOV has nothing to do with engine heat.
Thanks! So far I have done the tuning myself, on the street. I haven't had it on a dyno yet, but hopefully I will this spring. Honestly I got it done just before snow hit so it has been sitting for a couple of months now. I want to drive it so bad!
Its working great and I am enjoying it very much!
I am using a Haltech now. That's about the only "update" I guess.

Really impressive work!
How hard is it to get to/around your oil filter? Looks kind of blocked by the charge pipes.
Only thing I would recommend for you is an oil cooler, but that charge pipe might not allow you to use a sandwich plate.

Getting to the oil filter sucks. I have to take the bellypan off. Once I do that its not bad, but still...
