About...
I wish I could offer more help, but I had already moved the battery to the trunk for weight distribution and other reasons. I looked and it seemed like I could still get the battery in there with the pipes I used. I used all 2 1/2" pipes and welded the sections together so the pipes would be as few pieces as posible. I've got pics in my sig below.

I just used 2 1/2" mandrell bends and cut a chunk at a time, tacked them together. Then I welded all the pieces together out of the car and painted them up. I couldn't tell you which place to get a BOV from, 'cause I paid a lot for mine. I can say I'm not too fond of the BOV I've got (Greddy Type-R) 'cause the springs too stiff for the boost levels I'm running. It's made more for high cubes and high boost levels. I put the MAF on the up-pipe for a couple reasons. 1-the ECM isn't reading MAF signal that's blown off. 2-more accurate MAF reading and if I were to blow a boost hose the car still would run fine(could run without a turbo or intercooler even there).

Something that might be cool to try would be to use the oval shaped tubing you can buy from Burns' stainless. You can get mandrel bends from them and, while it may cost more, it would make the tight spots a little less tight. Kinda cool though.
