C5 novi 2200
I have an 01 c5 i did the TPIS 90mm conversion on the intake manifold and put an ls2 throttle body on it backwards so it will fit due to powersteering pump being on the way.....my question is i am waiting on my ecs supercharger kit right now and also ordered the HPE flip drive belt system does anyone know if the brackets will fit with the throttle body flipped around like this? Regular ls1 throttle body had the tac on the driver side so is this going to be in my way? Called ECS but haven't heard back yet just trying to figure out if this will work or not...any wisdom is much appreciated

I don't know if they will work together but another member on here modified his power steering reservoir bracket to allow the LS2 throttle body motor to face towards the drivers fender. I don't think he had to do much to it, I'll try to remember where I saw it.

It's not the pump in the way, just the reservoir. I've always relocated the PS reservoir by either cutting and elongating the bracket or adding a spacer with a longer bolt and cutting the other bolt hole off and with either method, adding a longer PS hose. Some brackets are in the way, but I'm not sure they all are so you might be able to get away with flipping it, however sometimes having the throttle body upside down causes undesirable results when it comes to functionality.
