Boost solenoid bracket doesn't fit with *Wrong* Perrin turbo inlet

Recommended Posts

I have a little bit of a problem with the fitment of the boost solenoid bracket on my car. When I bought the car it had an el cheapo MBC, I have since removed that and replumbed the stock solenoid. The car has a Perrin turbo inlet installed but I think it might be a WRX or STi version because the 3 nipples come off the top of the inlet rather than the side.

 

I ordered the bracket hoping that I could tidy things up under the hood in regards to all the vacuum lines but the bracket simply will not work with this inlet. I really hate leaving all the hoses laying there on top of the engine and under the intake manifold. The car runs great (Infamous Stg 2) but I would really like to do something about these lines. Any ideas besides purchasing the correct LGT Perrin intake and selling the old one? Has anyone run into a similar issue and modified or created their own bracket?

STi/WRX inlet hose (top nipples like mine):http://www.perrinperformance.com/shared/images/products/244/2416_large.jpg

 

*Note: I'm fairly confident than mine is the 2.4" DIA of the STi/WRX one because I can see the "neck-down" portion under the intake runner.

 

Thanks,
