Miniram fuel line question.
So Im stumped here, aparently I 1. Dont have all the fittings that came with the kit or 2. The fuel line kit isnt a direct bolt in.
Im thinking a male/male -6A 45 and some sort of female -6A to female whatever the stock fitting is....might work. Anyone else have this problem? I was going to call TPIS but they were already closed.

I was thinking these two might make up the difference.

TPIS 's version is about an 1" long, but will not exactly comp the difference. (your top link is similar to what they make/sell.
When I still used the factory hard lines to the stainless tpis lines:
I had to unbolt the fuel lines (small bracket at the front bottom side of the block) and pull them up silightly and rebend (slighty by hand) the factory hard line to meet the TPIS lines.

No, its a 90. I *think* they are both 16mm

no problem, glad it helps. Don't fret you'll get them to fit, just a little patience, and some fiddling. Something else I remembered looking at those again, before you tightened the lines up on the intake and at the front make sure the IAC connector fits in there.

Whats the problem?
I get it now.
I cut my bracket off for the fuel lines. I could not get the bolts out.
My lines will almost go anywhere I want now. I have a 90 as well.
Im sure once you get them loose, it will get you closer. the angle may be another issue.
