The day started by badly injuring my little finger. Good thing, that it happened to the left hand, and another good thing is that the bones were intact. Started to work at the garage only in the evening, instead of entire day :(.
First took out old intake. Looks strange, isn't it?
It's not so restrictive as it might look, but was really PITA to make. And the elbows are poping from the hoses all the time. That's because engine is moving under load and the intercooler - is not. This radial movement turns elbow out of the hose (due to it's bent surface, elbow tries to exit hose when you turn it around).

So I have installed this thingy right after the turbo:
Now the hoses have space to move. Also replaced three SS elbows with two, changing diameter silicon hoses. Those are more flexible than SS, so now hoses should not be under stress by the engine. No photos of the hosing, because it was done on the fly underneath the car. Only the final result (bumper was cut more after drive test ;))
Also found, that I have tightened the clamp for the BPV a bit too much:
Poor thing doesn't seem to be very happy with it. Hope it will hold the boost without leaks.
