Tial QR, Torque Solutions Adapter, Stock Piping: Hood Clearance

[teklein]

Hey,

I searched and cant find anyone who decided this route (maybe for a reason).

I have stock EVERYTHING. I bought the car stock. So the all of the intake, IC, and IC piping is stock.

My stock BOV started to leak horribly once I put the MBC and gauge in. So instead of getting a 1G, I decided to buy a nice Tial QR so itd last me forever. I bought the Torque Solutions adapter for the stock piping as well.

I bolted it all up, and it hit the hood. So I removed the two bolts that the IC pipe uses and that dropped it down like 1/4 of an inch. I can shut the hood now, but the top banjo hits the hood pretty bad.

So... has anyone used the Tial QR with stock piping and what did you do?

If not can anyone recommend a UICP that will not cause hood clearance issues with my Tial QR?

Thanks!

Sell it and buy a turbo...oh wait.....ummm, sell it and buy a non turbo? Does it hit the hood bracing? Looks like we are going to have to get creative with the upper ic pipe and brackets. :/

Yeah, I should have kept it.
