Default Momentum ST Kit and Strut Bar interference

For everyone that has the Momentum single turbo kit, did you have issues with your OEM or aftermarket strut bar clearance? I laid my GT spec strut bar over and it was hitting the charge pipe, and the MAF seemed pretty close to the mounting location.

From looking at it, I think I can bend some of the brackets and overlap them differently to get some clearance. I would like to know if it required more persuasion.

The GT Spec bar sits too low to clear without using spacers. If you use spacers, make sure you have room under the hood. (an HR good will accommodate the GT Spec bar and spacers)

Otherwise, you will have to either use an OEM bar or one that is similar in structure to the OEM.

Alright, I will see what can be done. I left my plenum spacer on so I do have spacers for the strut bar as it is. Worst comes to worst I will just go back to the stock piece.

I have no idea about neither the GT or the APS but I know the OEM barely clears the charge pipe with ~10mm
