Default TVS 2300 Install issue

The valve cover on the drivers side hits the front fuel line cross over fitting.

It hits hard, I would have to grind deep into the valve cover to make it clear.

Anyone have this issue before?

Will post photo later tonight...

And here is the mounting point. Not even close to seated. If it was close I could see putting a flat washer in to give just a little extra space, but like this, the o-ring isn't even seated...

Anyone else run into this?

I just took a 1900 off a 06 gto, I know on this car that fitting was very close but it didnt hit. When we did our install that line had to be on before you put blower down on the motor.

On LS1GTO I found some info.

I have it installed, but I am not really totally happy with how tight the bend radius is on the hose.

Over all, the install is very well documented in the Maggie instruction manual, really only one or two small glitches so far.

Considering that the GTO is a dead model from a dead line, I can understand that they concentrate on newer stuff, Camaro, Challenger, etc so I am pretty happy with how good the instructions are, especially compared to some instructions I have seen from other speed parts companies...

Are the injectors the same as what comes with the kit? Their height is whats giving you fits

Try the LS2 inj spacers to lift the injs/rails up some

Looks like you need injector spacers to me.
