First I want to say you have designed a great looking manifold set for this system. I definitely like where you are headded with the project, however I do have one concern/design "flaw" to bring up.
In the picture below I noticed that the compressor housing is sitting fairly close, in fact almost nearly right against the charge pipe. From my standpoint and with anybody who has worked/built turbo systems before we know the turbo housing generates a lot of heat, even in the compressor housing (thus the reason for intercooling). Now I understand you are running through an intercooler for the system, but doesn't the design of where the charge pipe is running kind of defeat the purpose of the intercooler? The heat will be expelled practicaly right onto the chage pipe, essentially raising the intake air temps even if it is intercooled. You could ceramic coat the pipe, or even get some heat wrap...but the amount of heat under that hood combined with the heat from the turbo housing will only deminish the performance from what it could be.
