Haven't attempted it yet (the car isn't back until next weekend, my gf has it). And I'd like to test-fit it while adjusting. But yeah, I think bending it will be the plan
.
The solenoid has 2 allen-key-head screws, so that'll be easy to remove. The Cobb pictures will help a lot. I think a 90deg bend might not be possible because the threaded raised section of the bracket will touch the solenoid. But as long as clearance underneath it is enough, a 45deg bend will easily be possible.
Shame that I have to wait another week or so, but if it doesn't work, I'll just get a Cobb one.
Btw, any idea on where to get metal hose connectors (like what comes standard with the Cobb)? I noticed one of my plastic ones has a bit of a bend in it already, and another has a groove right where the hose seals at the widest point.
*EDIT, I think I found some. Not specific to Boost Solenoids, so hopefully they fit (1/4" screw fitting to 1/8" barb). Some sold specifically for the boost solenoids would be best, since they're most likely to fit.
And where did you buy your Cobb one? Cobb wants something like $80 postage if I enter my details on their website. Rally Sport Direct should be more reasonable, but after I confirmed with them that their pictures are wrong (unit is blue in them, but is actually black these days), they took the item off their site to update the pictures.
