Damn. That really does extend toward the center of the engine compartment. Hopefully ATI can help you. Hang in there bud, it will eventually get worked out.

Do you remember how the bolt pattern on your blower? After mine was mounted there was an empty hole on the blower on each side of the bracket...if that makes sense. I'm thinking if I rotated it down one hole it would line up like yours. When you get a sec can you see if there is an empty hole on the blower at the top of the mounting bracket? Let me know if I'm not explaining it well enough.

Here's what I got. Two empty threaded holes that I can see.

Thanks for checking.. That's how mine bolted up. So how the hell is mine facing the way that it is....the only thing I can think of is I got a bad mounting plate.

That stinks. Now I really feel lucky I was able to get mine up and running without any big issues. Mine is a daily driver so it was a big risk just dropping it in. So far it's been running good. I also have a pickup truck so I wouldn't be completely without transportation.

Mine has the same bolt pattern

I'm glad I didn't drive it anymore...at any point the hose clamp could have been completely cut

I just don't see how this can be made to fit without a different bracket. In my packing list it has the correct info, but it doesn't line up at all...and there is virtually no clearance at the bottom under the car.

There's a guy over on the collective that put up pics after his install and his blower looks to be mounted close to the same angle as mine...
Here's the Thread and here's a pic that shows the blower mounting angle

It looks like the the inlet/outlet housing is mounted incorrectly on the gear housing. Maybe your blower itself is not put together properly. I wonder if it's the right blower for your car/setup. Obviously something's not right.

I'm thinking of rotating the unit down one bolt. That would make it line up better...is there any harm in that?

Well I know It has to be a certain way for the oil pickup, so be cognizant of that. Also you can see in my pics and the one you just found that the rubber connector is pushed pretty far onto the outlet pipe. It actually covers up some of the ProCharger engraving. Every little bit of adjustments will help in the end.

But with the angle of your outlet you certainly need a 90 degree elbow to go straight down.
