Great write up!
I second your concerns about the clearance between the tubing there going from the cold side of the intercooler to the chargepipe/throttle body. I will say I've run my car like this for about 35K miles with no issues. About 10k miles ago though I did have some poly engine mounts installed though, that gives me a slight bit of peace of mind (though wasn't the reason I had them installed).
