i found that the issue with the carbing wasnt the IC it was the firewall...

it touches the cowl.

how tall is the TMIC?

go to my journal and look at the engine bay, I have the Carbing installed, take reference to the plastic peices above the firewall and see how much room you will need.

And yes it does touch the cowl to arch up for maximum clearance to bigger TMIC. Cowl is plastic, I see no harm done.

i have read that but my intercooler just touches my ac line in the back and is close to the cowl--i didn't know if the bar since it touches the cowl would sit high enough to clear the tmic

by the way chaos where exactly do you live--i would love to see your car and measure it if i could??
