strut tower bar and greddy elbow clearance
 

ok so i installed my greddy elbow and pipe to connect to the pettit coolchargeII intercooler and where the coupler connects the elbow and pipe it rubs on my strut tower bar. i dont want to keep going through couplers and causing boost leaks.. any tower bar that would clear this joint area?

Hammer.

bump,,,, hammer what? its not possible..

What kind of strut tower brace do you have? I think cusco bars are a little taller than the stock R1/2 bars.

was your car in an accident?

That was my second question. I havent heard of many people with rubbing issues with the greddy elbow...

Ive got the elbow and a cusco bar and have never had a problem....

Greddy elbow and greddy strut bar here and have clearance. Only problem I'm having is the oil cap rubbing on the coupler of the elbow, not too much room there......

fwiw, The coupler on mine just barely touches the strut bar. Car has never been hit. Been holding up fine.

How much contact do you have?

Same here clearnace issues. My idea was to have the underside of the strut tower bar indented a 1/8 of a inch ? that should do it. Other then changing the mounting points of the elbow , I think thats all you can do to help the fit.

no never in an accident.. im pretty sure its an ebay special the label says GAB im guessing i should try the cusco or greddy bar.

Try looking for a Cusco bar which has bends like this one:

I have the GAB bar in mine and it's authentic abosolutly np probs. I have the greddy elbow as well and have lots of space. something goin on your side. i even have pics.

well im not sure.. i know there have been no accidents because all my body pieces have the original sticky hole covers on them which means no paint has been done and also pettit worked on the car since new and personally knew the owner. i dont have an oil pan brace so its no like the engine is beiing pused up more either
