I went to put in my new intake and ls2 tb on and with the procharger in the way that wasn't going to happen. So I flipped the TB around but now hits the power steering reservoir and bracket. What are you guys doing to fix this? I read only a quick thread but the pics where on photobucket so no bueno.I thought getting some spacers and longer bolts but then I run into that bottom hose need to be extended and that thread I read said it would pinch. Another person said to get a hose and put a spring in it. Never seen these springs only for radiator hoses. Wasn't even sure if the spacers would work. Let me know what you did and please post pics. Thanks

You can space it out. The hose underneath is low pressure. So you can use a gas or oil proof hose.
I think one of the vendors makes a kit. It consists of new bolts and aluminum spacers.

I made a quick bracket that I was going to redo, never did it yet. Just some metal from home depot and 5 years later it's still there. I used a new piece of power steering hose from AutoZone from the cut your length section in back of store. It really needs to be power steering hose otherwise it will swell and leak after a year or so. I will take a pic when I get home from travel.

Thanks for the tips gents...i found a thread on this..i got the 2" spacers with 120mm M10X1.5 bolts and notching the bracket worked for me..im gtg. Cost about 8 bucks in hardware. Lol at nitrous express price..but thanks for the link. I want to note that I added a washer to the end of my spacer which was a small thin one because the spacers actually started going through the alternator bracket. I was also able to reuse the larger power steering hose guess I got luvky? Happy camper again..now waiting for my other parts

Is this only an issue on the newer/updated style alternator bracket? I have a TPIS 90MM LS6 intake with an LS2 TB, the TB is flipped and I have no such issues. I have the original 99 alternator bracket for the time being. Thanks!

It probably doesn't push it out as far like my Dorman does. It's a ls6/fast creation
