I have heard Bryan test fits each setup on a test engine, so I wonder how that is happening.

we had this problem at the shop the other day. just take the dremel to it and grind it down a bit. not hard at all.

i think there is some kind of difference between the fitment on s4 and s5

Are you guys talking about grinding out the manifold? i have ground down the nub on the Compressor to the max already (flush with the bolt with enough metal to hold it well).
