Modified Dipstick

[Hubbard 0]

Do they make a modified dipstick that sits closer to the engine block? I went outside to test fitment for my 46mm wastegate and the dipstick pretty much runs right where the WG needs to be. I know I'm going to have to move my fan to the other side and that's not an issue.

So, what are my options?

Grab it and bend it.

I was hoping that wasn't the only way, but thanks.

bend it is the best route... imo.

The dipstick tube is bendable. Just be careful not to kink it and you can bend it in any direction to move it away from whatever it's in the way of.

I've had to bend mine in several different directions over the years, and more recently, I had to use chunks of wood and a mallet and completely reshape the tube.

Works fine. Just do it slowly.

Cool, hopefully I can get this massive WG to fit so I don't have to trade for a smaller one.
