I bought the "igloo" new (83 tqc air box thingy looks like an eskimo's
igloo) new.  I then used 2 and 3" SILFAB II neoprene hosing to go
between the places that need the air (air box to turbo, turbo to intake
(( i'm not using an intercooler yet, can't seem to find a place to fit
it easily )) )  My swap was a little different in that i used the 86
4kcs CIS-E fuel injection with an MC 86 5ks turbo motor.  Kept the
engine intact, but used my car's computer.

Don't have this problem with CIS-E, it doesn't know what "too much
boost" is.

My lag may be mostly because I'm using the stock 4k exhaust, cat back. 
It isn't bad, really, my pressure starts to push around like 2600, and
it's doing full power about 3000.  I can manage that.  it also makes for
a real nice driveable "city traffic" car, so i'm not always jerking my
head just letting off the clutch.

Other than pressure drop on the intake side, unless the intercooler is
really free breathing, nothing as far as i can see
