Just a recommendation for you guys, when you install your 50trim, take the compressor cover off and run a bead of Copper Sealant around the edge. When I was leak checking my system I was getting bubbles all around the compressor housing. After the sealant it was GTG.
Well I get my AMS 50 Trim on Monday, 12 Mar...hopefully everything goes smoothly...I like to thank Santiago@AMS for going above an beyond on customer service and technical support, honesty goes a long ways.
How to make your lower tie bars fit
Hold your tie bar up and see where it hits the down pipe. Notice how I have marked the bar by smudging the dirt. This will be my referance point for bending it.
Here I have the tie bar in the vice with the mark just slightly above the jaws. It takes some effort but give it a good yank and it will bend.
Here I have the tie bar in the vice near the center tab. I am bending it in the opposit direction as the first bend to get it to bolt in place.
In this picture you can see the slight bend in both the lower tie bars allowing them to clear the down pipe. There is a good half inch of clearance.
I hope this helps.
