Blitz FMIC won't fit around wire harness - help please!

Hey guys,

I'm trying to get my Blitz FMIC in. I've got most of the brackets in, and I'm trying to get the actual FMIC in and I can't quite get it to fit. The inlet and outlet pipes from the FMIC don't fit between the plastic wire harness guides under the front bumper. I attached a pic.

Anyone else have this problem? Did you just force it in place?

- Andy

They should be tucked up more and hard to see - they have little holes the plastic guides clip into. Make sure they're seated up there properly.

In the instructions it states that you have to 'modify' the passenger side plastic piece to make room for the inlet pipe---I trimmed it with a pair of sturdy dikes. There's no cutting required on the driver's side.

Just like Goodfellas said you have to trim the plastic that surronds the wire harness inorder to have the pipes clear it. It mentions that clearly in the instructions.

I believe they show you a picture of what needs to be done.
