I was comparing my neighbor's 3rd gen Jake setup with my 2nd gen and noticed the vacuum actuator for the Jake is located on the opposite side. At first glance it looks like it may interfere with the a/c hardware at the firewall? Also apparantly the turbo flange would be 1" closer to the firewall than the stock HX35 flange which would put the Jake elbow right at the firewall. On a good note, at a glance it appears the elbow's bend angle (ie. downpipe angle) is very similar between the 2nd and 3rd gen Jake brakes so downpipe attachment shouldn't be too bad?
I searched on here and made a few calls, and it seems several others have considered this approach but I haven't found confirmation that it can actually be done. Does an HTB2 w/ 3rd gen flange and a 3rd gen Jake elbow fit without interference at the a/c fittings and/or firewall?
