Default 2.6L Kenne Bell install problem.

Hi guys, I'm just over half way installing my new 2.6L KB intercooled supercharger kit and I've ran into a problem. I would contact KB but they're closed on the weekends. The kit came with a new coolant crossover bar that I installed and was instructed to discard my factory crossover. The crossover bar that was supplied in my kit is very different from the one that is Shown in the instructions book. The one I was given has no radiator hose nozzle for me to attatched the radiator hoses to. I'm on the step now where it says to connect my driver side radiator hose into the new coolant crossover bar but there's nothing to clamp it down to and I'm stuck on the install till I figure this out. If anyone can help I'm open to any advice. Below are pictures of the stock VS supplied crossover bar as well as the crossover bar shown in instructions.


Stock crossover compared to new installed crossover

New crossover bar displayed in book



Instructions saying to install radiator hose onto new crossover mount. But as you can see in the first picture my supplied mount has nothing for it to install into.

Looks like they gave you the wrong part. Looks different than mine.

The crossover you need is very much like your stock one, but different enough so the intake will clear it.

The opening on the new intake plate looks like it could fit the thermostat in there (opening to the right of the alternator if you are facing it) ? If it does then it looks like they sent you the setup for 07+.

You'd have to buy your own crossover unless they normally include one with the 07+ kits as well as replace, I believe the, lower radiator hose you get the t-hose setup that 07+ uses.
