Installed mine Sat... Biggest take away : Wow is the stock airbox/cooler line fitment tight !
With the intake out it's deceiving how much room you have, so I ran the lines in a way to minimize the kinking, which meant the lower line ran toward the passenger line was angled over toward the passenger side before heading down. Well that step "reinstall your intake system" turned out to be more problematic than I had expected.
Had to move the sandwich plate outlets as far toward the oil filler cap as possible and the lines had to run straight down in order to be able to get the stock airbox back in. In my situation, I could not figure out any way to make the lower oil line not kink. I ended up removing about 4" of length from it and now it fits very well... The upper line seems like it would have worked better if it were slightly shorter as well, but I got it to work...
Question - when changing oil, I'm assuming the ~1/2 quart in the lines and cooler will not drain - any way easy way to flush that out for a more complete change?

P.S. Thanks to all the members here - Just got the BRZ in early July, I've gotten a lot of good info from this site...
