[QUOTE="Johnpappy, post: 1356983, member: 20484"] So, the install is done. I did have an issue with the cab being mounted forward. I found that the bracket that holds the fuel line was contacting the manifold. Some grinding and bending solved the problem. No cab adjustment was required. The back bolt issue... I had to leave the drivers side back bolt out to get the blower in. It was easy to install by hand later. The issue that some have had with the passenger side back bolt was tackled by experimenting with different combinations of adapters. Taping the adapters to the IC hose. Installing the blower each time (don’t use the gasket until the final install) and trying to get a 1/4 ratchet on the extension. The final combination that worked was a 10mm 3/8 wobble socket, 1/4” adapter, and a 2 7/8 1/4” extension. A 10mm 1/4” wobble socket could also be used but the length of the entire combination should be right at 5”. Another major difference that I encountered from the install in this thread was that the IC coolant lines from the back of the IC are now both routed to the passenger side. Had to call Whipple to get the correct hoses and fittings. In summary I found the install to be fairly easy if your inclined to do it yourself. Use some old cushions for your knees on the front bumper and one on the radiator for your rib cage! Whipple is helpful when needed for consultation. The tune is now done with an SCT tuner. Awesome upgrade! I’m liking the added power. [/QUOTE]
