That VTEC oil pressure sensor can come off and you can just cap it with a bolt and some teflon tape. The AEM doesnt use the sensor. I believe siadam did a writeup on how to do it. I explained it to him and he made a thread if you want to contact him to find out where to view the thread.
On a side note, I confirmed today that you can run an oil filter in the stock location without the factory oil cooler in place. I removed my ILP Relocation kit and just put a factory filter on. Fits fine with plenty of room. I am very happy, one less thing I have to worry about breaking or leaking now. This is with an ILP Stg. 1 kit with Garret GT3076r btw.

Nice build...

A log manifold from the stage 1 kit and the tubular manifold in the stage 2 kit are different....
The more and more I mess with and look at the intercooler, the more and more that I don't like it. I have the charge pipes pretty much all touching and have the intercooler lined up with them. This is the highest that I could get it to go. I already have issues with scraping the front bumper so I guess I will have to be even more careful now.
I was looking at more install pictures of the same intercooler and noticed it was like that for other installs as well.
That intercooler is only about an inch taller than my IP 800 hp intercooler and mine fits perfect with about 1/2" of gap between the bottom of the intercooler and the lower plastic cover. Yours shouldnt be hanging that low I wouldnt think. Is there absolutely no way to move it up about 2 more inches?
