Interesting. Much better spacing than the procharger pipe. Did you need to extend the MAF? Mine is closer to the throttle body and its pretty tight already. I may give them a call and see if I can order one.
Now I need to decide if I can fit a premade stainless kit onto my system or if im stuck making lines on my own. Looked like my pump fittings would easily unscrew and fit ORB/AN fittings where required.

Well I went ahead and ordered a charge pipe from ECS. I had to request the MAF be moved up a tad bit. Going to order some bungs to weld on for now but I'm not sure what size nozzles I want to get. Honestly I figured the largest that way I don't have to worry about getting something too small now and if it's too large I can not spray 100% at full boost.
It's just something I don't want to spend $40 on and screw up.
I'll have to build this like I did my fuel system. Piece by piece or just buy a kit and hope they get it right. Right now the only issue I was wondering about was the jets fitting into the AN lines and into the pipe but I think I found the right adapters and the bungs will work perfectly. Look good and function well.

I just asked them to set it up for meth, dual nozzles. No bungs to buy/etc. They sent it ready to go. Be warned though that PC and ECS intercoolers are in far different locations so if you think that pipe is just going to bolt on you may be disappointed.

They did offer to move the MAF sensor up but didn't mention welding on bungs when they found out it was for a car running an IAT sensor and meth. Oh well. I figured I would pay a little extra for it but hopefully it looks great and is set up nicely in the end.

So after a brief intermission with my car today (IE: ran out of gas while the gauge said over 1/4) I have everything ordered besides the fittings and nozzles. I can't decide if I want a nitrous style adapter

or a nice looking nozzle holder like this

Only reason I'm hesitant about either is fitment. The first one would look nice but may stick out pretty far with AN fittings. Not sure how well the 2nd would line up if I used washers or if it would still seal well.

Looks pretty close but I'll have to pull the old one off and get the right couplings to be sure. It's definitely a nice larger size and once I get these bungs welded in I can look into what type of meth fittings I will try to use. For now I guess I'll just stick the old ones in there.
Good news as well is that I can put the meth fittings a good ways in front of the IAT sensor but no matter what I can still put the IAT in front of or directly behind the radiator hose and not right against it like it currently is. No more crappy looking fiberglass insulation!
