Ask away man, i wish i had someone with the same or similar setup when i was going through all this..'
The crash beam is cake.. as long as you have something to cut metal, those rotary tools will be just fine.
The heat issue isn't an issue.. i got the titanium coating and all though im planning on getting an oil cooler my temps are less than 10 degress apart from when i was NA. You could get the turbo blanket and some sort of coating and you'll be good, their fans with shroud work great.
I'm using the Full blown motorsports catch can.. I got it because the price was right.. just like any other custom made catch can... and it vents both lines, the PCV valve and the line running to the intake leaving the car coompletely clean, check out my fourth or fith pic on the original post.. you could see it mounted by the battery.
I'm tuned with Moto..he had tuned a JDL kit and wrote a pretty good article about it, and to be honest.. he's right on the money. I got the base file, and the car started right up, no lie better than stock. Drove perfectly!! then did a few logs, he got the AFR in check and i'm good.. his custom tunes allow for a range of boost levels so you're not stuck on 7psi for example.. i could do 7-12psi with the map, the ecu will compensate.
