Sorry I'm jumping in on this a little late..

I'm VERY happy with my Isuzu NPR diesel IC setup.  No matter how hard I
hammer on the car the intake temps stay nice and cool.  And as a major
bonus, it all fits behind the stock grille!

here are some pics of test fitting:

and here are some pics after re-welding one of the outlets to point
straight down (needed to clear the turbo):

and an updated pic of the car with the hood (finally!) painted:
