hi GeeO, why not start your own thread in the projects area or such about your car? then you can ask whatever question you like and we can help out. I can tell you about the boost controller I see in your picture, etc.

Hmm. Where does the cam-blow-by go on an NA? I just see the black-tubing dropping down to somewhere.

Of course it will; you haven't a care in the world. Once you've sold your home to finance this project and are sleeping in the car, please send us some pictures.
