I am actually going on almost two years and haven't turned a wrench yet on my project. I guess 24 months over in the desert doesn't help.

The PS lines are an easy fix, just make new liines. Here's a parts list thanks to Brains!

I adapted the rack and pump to regular ol -6AN fittings. The adapter fittings are available from Summit. Here's the parts list:

2 x EAR-991955ERL (M16x1.50 o-ring to -6AN Male) - rack return, pressure side of pump
1 x EAR-991956ERL (M18x1.50 o-ring to -6AN Male) - pressure side of rack
3 x RUS-620421 (90 degree -6 hose ends) - Both rack ports, pressure side of pump hose ends
1 x RUS-620401 (Straight -6 hose end) - Hose to pump reservoir, along with
RUS-670300 (Straight -6 to hose barb) - Braided line to rubber hose, which clamps to reservoir fitting
1 x RUS-632610 (6 foot section of power steering hose)

I will copy and paste that into the truck manifold sticky..really dont need to make new lines for the truck manifolds, but I wish I did at the time for a cleaner look.

No need really. I bent mine and gained plenty of clearance. I do like a cleaner looking setup though.

this really "grinds my gears"...

josh is my bud, i have worked on this car a few times with him...he got SCREWED by those asshats over at Hi Flo...the nicest thing about this kit is the actual turbo, which he got from the company who is cleaning up Hi Flo's mess...nothing really fits right, he has to bang **** and pull and push and bend...**** all that...for $5000 + this thing should have slid right on with only minor adjustments due to car to car variations...

I know this post doesnt help his current situation with the driver side log hitting the steering shaft, but I wanted to let everyone know how shitty this really is, and it should NOT be taken lightly by any means..they must have been wearing sunglasses in a dark room when they designed this kit....

Good luck dude and...
-1 for Hi Flo
