Clock the outlet of the blower a little further counter clockwise (facing front of vehicle). Take the pipe out of the blower there and hopefully the reclocking will allow it to clear the tube going into the tb. If not, might have to have a little bend in there towards waterpump. Carry it over to the intercooler (towards passenger side) then have other tube loop around into tb.

I would also consider using some wiggins clamps to make it easier to get off when lashing the valves, etc.

I'm using these and like them:

You don't think the tape will hold?

I don't have a good pic from the side to show, but turning the elbow 90* won't work. It would be impossible to have a bend radius tight enough to make it work. The outer edge of the tb would be even with the intercooler outlet.

I tacked the I/C to TB pipe tonight. It moved a little bit but still fit just fine. If I have time, I'll try to tackle the longer piece tomorrow.

Looks nice, but IMO since you have went custom build from the get, I would rotate the blower outlet so that it matches the intake piping to the TB. All symmetrical looking, unless hood clearance was a issue..

I was wondering if I was the only one. I understand it as he wants you to rotate your blower 90* so it matches the TB. Good luck on your belt rounting.
