Help with jacobe E-brake/Phat Shaft install

[tburke]

I have a 2004. 5 with a Phat Saft 62. I am trying to install my jacobe/Mopar E-brake. the problem i am having is the vacuum servo hits the fire wall and wont line up with the turbo. I don't want to dent the fire wall for clearance as the evap is right behind it. anyone ever install this combo? Or have any suggestions? Thanks.

I had the same problem when installing my SPS66, and I ended up denting the firewall for clearance. I didn't dent it in more than 3/8" probably, but it was enough for the vac pod not to slap the firewall when starting/shutting down the engine.

The mopar brake has a fatter cylinder than the pacbrake. My Pac went on perfectly!

mopar is a vacuum pot. the pacbrake is an air cylinder i believe. . the air cylinder ones are much smaller [surface area] as they can operate at higher pressure differentials [±14psi vacuum one, ±50psi air one]
