Just a couple pics from the other day. Look closely at the engine bay shot and you will see the only 96 up car in the country (I think) with a throttle cable running on an AEM EMS.

I like your stainless steel lines and fittings. 
I too replaced the black rubber hose with braided. I was at MB's shop when he was putting the finishing touches on your car before delivering it to you. I do not recall the boost valve being chromed. Is it not the same one as comes with the BBSC or did you have the black boost valve plastic-chromed? If a different valve, what brand name is it?
Isn't yours a targa? If so, do you notice any "excessive" body flex, because you do not have the tri-strut bar?

Nice car!
I removed the included valve and put an aftermarket polished one on the I/C. As far as the strut tower bar, I don't think there is any "excessive" flex without the factory engine bay brace...but I haven't track tested that theory yet .

Can you blow the first picture up so I can set it as Wall paper?
It looks good with that sky color...

What brand / type is the valve? Is it boost adjustable?

Is there no air filter on your BBSC? Do you have any more pictures of the aftercooler? Did you run the car first without the after cooler and if you did , is there much difference with it?

The air filter on his and mine is behind the LR plastic wheel well liner.
very nice who made your water/air cooloer...and how many lbs of boost are you running
The aftercooler core is by Spearco. A local machine shop fabricated the air and water inlets-outlets. If he has the same pulley as on my Novi 2000, 8 PSI at redline.

When I took the engine bay shots at the shop, there wasn't an intake pipe as I am changing mine at the moment. BTW, the current pulley on the car is 11psi (3.1") not the 8psi (4") provided with the kit.
Did you just get the system put on your car? The reason I ask is because how shiny the over flow tank still is. Mine didn't take long at all to get scratched up.
Very nice looking car overall though. You should be proud.

I have had the kit for a while now...you just can't see the scratches well in the pics.

My piping goes into the plastic fenderwell area just like Andy mentioned before (same area the stock airbox draws cold air from). I just decided to change my original one from 3" to 3.5" diameter piping with a cone filter again in the fenderwell. Unfortunately, 3.5" pipe will not fit through the factory body hole with cutting it out a little

You do a real good job of keeping it clean. Best of luck with the system in the future.
what are you getting for hp.
TWO QUESTIONS
Payn,
1) what do you have your the crankcase filter connected to? The pcv valve? And if so, do you have your throttle body port plugged
2) Is your dash valve on the throttle body connected? I see a vac line running down but to what if the stock intake boot is not there.

2) The dash valve rod is no longer connected to the throttle body plate but has a vacuum line attached to it. Why I left it on in the first place...well...I was tired that night and needed a vacuum cap

Thanks, I kept looking at it and was wondering what or how you had that.
I put the 97 covers on mine - with the pcv on the rear now it was easier to run the lines to my catch can back the throttle body. The front has the vent and the filter on it. I saw the filter on your front with the black covers and had to ask.

If I'm not mistaken I think I've seen this nsx at Cobo hall Import show March or April?. Very nice set up - even took videos of it.
PaynNsx, hope to see your car at Main Street one of this weekends!

Looks like wood to me.
You should bring it back up so we can have another run. Say, October 5th? That is, if I haven't stripped my car down out of anger.
P.S. Its looking good.
