Installed my ecs kit over the past few days on my 02 Z...What are you guys using to secure the pipe from moving around so the aluminum elbow doesn't bounce off of the rad support? Also the rubber hose coming down from the blower is resting against my PS cooler any mods for that?

you might have to trim the rubber hoses to get it to fit better, mine doesn't touch the radiator support... I just received 2 generic rubber 90 degree hoses with my kit along with the small aluminum J pipe and it was nowhere near close to fitting, nothing in the instructions and ecs was no help either... I ended up having to trim quite a bit off of the rubber hoses it to get it to fit decent, it still isn't perfect but much better than it was... I eventually want to get an all metal charge pipe made and put the blowoff valve at the blower outlet instead of the end of the intercooler... my pipe was also being pinched between the ps cooler and sway bar so I just removed the cooler and I have more clearance in that area now... you can also relocate the cooler if you don't want to remove it

I did trim the upper hose about 1 1/2 inches. I went to Lowes and got a 3" hanger and some rubber weatherstripping. I wrapped the inside of the hanger with the rubber clamped the J tube and bolted to the rad support. Problem solved

after a lot of exercise i found out there way no way nothing would touch anywhere. solution: rubber around the rubber hose. you definitely have to cut the black hoses to fit (dont cut too short). the j-pipe is pressed against the cradle with some foam padding inbetween.
