Oh ok once again nice work.
On a side note I had to pull my intake manifold on my Cooper after noticing oily residue on the throttle body and found the ENTIRE manifold interior to be coated in oil residue.
I guess I'll be picking up one of those Alta catch cans for mine.

More importantly i didnt want my intercooler being coated in a layer of oil which reduces its capabilities to cool air a little. Plus they do look nice fitted
I have two questions, probably silly ones but ok....
1) The original BOV was deleted. What did you do with the adaptor that the original BOV has on it?
2) The new BOV is just before the last intake, after the IC. The role of it is to reduce the pressure in the turbo, after each release of the throttle pedal. In this position, how do you ensure something like that? Wouldn't it be much preferable to use a BOV from an Audi S3 which is very easy to be placed in the original position?
Thanks!!!

2) I have an HKS bov fitted to an Exhaust depot made pipe. Fitted just before the throttle body so when the throttle is slammed shut the excess pressure between the compressor wheel and the closed throttle body is released allowing turbo to keep spinning.

1) Im not quite sure what adaptor you mean ?

Nice setup. My car ran the same at first without any boost controller, and now with the electronic one i havent tried upping the boost so i set it to about 11/12 psi and will leave that to my trustworthy tuner come custom remap. I also set the gain so i get better response from the turbo and im quite amazed at how well the car goes for 10 psi, needs a proper tune/setup and alot more boost though
What bov are you going to fit ? Are you planning on making a sealed box to surround your intake as that would be the perfect intake if you closed it off

hey just installed the atp kit -not a drop in. anyway i posted this somewhere else, but how did you control boost before the electronic one. the kit drops boost and i can only produce 8 psi. Runs like crap though it sounds nice. I changed a few things as to where the intake sits.

No, because I know it may take time but it is the best way to get some big hp out of the r56. Its all for fun anyway otherwise why do it. I don't have a bov yet and was not going to close off the intake because it looks cool this way and should not be any more open than if it was in the back. I am working on a tuner but they are so busy this time of year.

And the cost, $150,000 
Well it wont be a cheap one 
If i can get my car like the GTT350 in the UK (formerly a supercharged vehicle) then that would be brilliant.
Heres a vid of my car running 12 psi : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jYX4g3RxBk

Just got finished installing a hose connector (main body and take off) to allow for a proper, new boost source for my boost solenoid/actuator : 
Car is running even better than before especially in the high revs. I will get a good video up by tomorrow as its just started raining quite heavily here but ive finally run out of things to do except get my remap

Hey you were right I unplugged the mass air and not the car runs smooth and nice - and oddly enough no engine light any more.
