Quick update...Just went out and fiddled around with it some more. Had to back out the silicon joiner about a quarter inch from the carbon cone and turned the intake tube at the plenum upward slightly. Now, the intake tube is no longer touching the pump connector...YAY! It's not as much clearance as Paul's car, but I'm happy that it's no longer pinching the connector wires
So...for step 10 of the instruction, do NOT push the silicon joiner onto the carbon housing "as far back as possible". Apparently, I followed this to the "T" and pushed it in too far, I guessed
Paul/Imran,
Thanks again for the quick responses...even on a Valentine Saturday
Really appreciates the feedback and suggestions...that is what I called customer support!
