I have a CUSCO Ti and it DOES NOT fit over my Vortech aftercooler. The design is similar, yes, but the fill cap on the Vortech unit is right where the STB would be. I'm waiting for some sort of spacer solution right now

Hi dave,

On the g.b. I purchased it from says, "it fits vortech s/c's" I'm just quoting on shinji's thread. Socal28 had a shop machine him some billet spacers that worked great for him.

Thanks. Mine is the Ti one, so it may be a little different. I'm currently working to find a solution locally

I tried to fit the Cusco STB over my Voretch this weekend. No go. It won't clear the aftercooler cap. You're gonna need spacers at least 1/4" in thickness, which I'm having made locally. Even then, you may have issues with hood clearance. I have the J's, so I'll let you guys know if it works.

Iv'e got way more room with my carbon cusco. The loud engine noise has to be aftercooler vibrations on the strut tower bar.
