Default Aftercooler help

There is a bit of congestion at the location circled in the pic below. Do you folks have any solutions?

That tweaked hose to the left doesn't look good at all, is that the correct fitting or should it be a 90 like the one at the right??

Use 2 of the 90 degree elbows.

You can also move it closer to the throttle body a little. This should eliminate the touch.

If you want to run AN fittings you'll have to bond in the AN fittings to the aftercooler. They are to close together to weld. Mine were stuck in with industrial JB weld. Still leak free after 4 years.
The fittings are very close to the radiator, and you have to run the aftercooler as close to the throttle body as possible.

thanks for the input guys.

slows2k, i found the fitting after reading your previous thread.

Did the aftercooler come stock with (2) 90 degrees fittings from vortech or did you guys do the mod?

Vortech supplies the brass 90deg. fittings. Your aftercooler is missing 1.
