[QUOTE="evil2vgt, post: 1488812, member: 28841"] I just had my 2.1 rebuilt and purchased a 2.6 mammoth inlet from Kenne Bell at the same time. I also had them install a spacer for fuel rail clearance. The issue I am having is that the intercooler fittings on the back of the intake still will not clear the new 2.6 inlet. It looks like I need a little over 1/4" more clearance. Im thinking I have 3 options. 1. Possibly relocate the fittings to the back of the intake instead of the top. My concern with this is that it may cause weak areas since I would be drilling into the side of the original ports. Potentially creating a weak area that could crack if it were to get hot. 2. Grind the 2 pads where the fittings go allowing me enough clearance. 3. Remove the 1" spacer and find someone that can make one a little taller for clearance. If anyone here has any experience installing a 2.6 Mammoth inlet on a 2.1 please let me know. In the pic you can see the 2 ports where the fittings go under the inlet. [/QUOTE]
