    Rouge Engineering race brace & Turner Motorsports CSL air box clearance question

    My race brace is touching the Turner CSL air box I just installed. Is there a correct way to increase clearance, like using washers or do I need to look for a different strut bar?

    You could try modifying the horshoe bracket under the intake so that it sits lower like in post 257 here: https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/m...-airbox/page18
    I helped with an install recently, and the airbox touched the stock strut brace without doing this. Even after, there was only a couple mm of clearance.

      I wonder if I could just shorten the rubber standoff to achieve the same clearance?

        So I think I found the solution thanks to Anders93 Turner makes a modified U bracket that lowers the airbox to clear strut braces.Click image for larger version  Name:	D748F98B-CAF9-4C53-A6A0-EE4116AB59A3.jpeg Views:	0 Size:	160.0 KB ID:	77990 Click image for larger version  Name:	98C830AC-4B83-4373-B474-AAD051D2994C.jpeg Views:	0 Size:	36.9 KB ID:	77991 .

          Is that the V1 or V2 box? I thought the V2 boxes had fixed this issue.

            It is a v2 and I believe the fix between V1 and v2 was to clear the air intake at the back of the engine bay. I am experiencing clearance issues between the box and the race brace strut bar. So by lowering the box with the bracket I will hopefully gain enough clearance.

              We installed a v2 as well and needed to modify the u-bracket in order to clear the stock strut brace.
