Any tips? P1SC

So I have everything bolted up, except for the tubing. The guy I bought my kit from said everything should just bolt up, yet nothing lines up! What am I doing wrong? I don't want to buy a ton of extensions (fernco) if I dont have to.

Did anybody else run into this problem?

Having just installed the p1sc on a 97 camaro 3 weeks ago, all I can think of is whuh? Everything pretty well fit in place for me, but then again, I bought my kit new. Definately had to clearance the ABS bracket, but that's really it. Other than the expected pita for hoses, everything pretty well fit, I honestly can't complain much.

Sorry, can't add anything at all for you. The fit should be a lot better than you mentioned, even though you can't expect OEM fit and finish.

My kit kit pretty much bolted in. Had to cut the air dam, move the air pump (to the trash), and move the ABS. It went pretty smooth. Which intercooler setup do and have?

I have the two core. And while I adjusted things yesterday to work better- the sc outlet and ic inlet dont work very well with the stock, supplied elbow.

Sorry, your having such problems hooking the s/c up. You may also consider when you get everything situated to go front mount with that 2-core. I would hate for you to bottom out on that thing run into a hige puddle with the i/c sitting on the bottom of the car.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't I need to either cut something or remove my fog lamps?

ALso- where did you guys find your tubing and hoses?

If you have a TA and bought the Kit off of a camaro, then there is the problem. I had to cut my tube that comes up near the driver side headlight about 6 inches I believe. The camaros have that extra space over there because they do not have pop up headlights. So the tube that comes with the camaro kit is longer.

another thing- how tight is the bend between the blower and ic inlet supposed to be? Mines not kinked, but man- it sure doesnt look good.
