I would spin the clamps so the bolts run parallel with the fan, not into it.

Im sure you tried but, can you adjust the couplers and pipes to give you another 1/4"?

We basically have the same build. Is yours 4x4? I cant wait to compare results.

Well everything is in!!! I have to tonight up a few things before I can start it though. I broke my dipstick tube putting it back in and I can't get one of my 02 sensors out so I need to make a parts run tonight. Everything looks great though!











I am going to fix a few things after I get it running, including a longer feed line and switching the cold side clamps around like Choda had mentioned. Right now I just need to make my street tune appt tomorrow!

Hopefully the motor doesn't flex forward at all. There's not much room between the water pump.
That pipe should not be going perfectly straight down. It is set up to be angled towards the driver side.
Also your bov pipe looks to be in 180' off.

Okay cool I will angle that a little. Not sure what you mean about the bov. Should I just remove the pipe and flip it the other way? It looks like it would be better the way I have it because there is a longer distance to the maf.

Okay I think I see what you're saying. I need to point the bov to the passenger side?

Looks great. Why did you not wrap the manifold?

I've been searching for an oil tube for days. They keep saying the 07 will not work with my 09, which doesn't make sense. Dorman makes a couple but for the life of me can't find one that is described as 2009
