SC alignment problem, intake elbow

Having problems aligning my outlet manifold with my intake elbow, its more off then usual. I took out the Outlaw IM spacer and the problem perists.
The shaft has been taken off and repositioned multiple times but really theres only one way if you want the shaft indentation to go over the coil packs. Also, im trying to use the CL-P or Accord elbow so im also wondering if it has a different angle to the bend somehow when compared to the CLS elbow?

Heres a pic, looking for the other SC gurus to help out and offer some insight if they can.

that means you need to just take the SC off and send it to me to put on my car

I thought J32A2 motors used a different elbow than the J32A1 motors.

There's only one way the blower attaches and your elbow is off - more than I've seen,

First off, your elbow doesn't have the mounting point for your MAP sensor on the top face of the elbow. From these pictures, the length of the elbow is around 4.75"

As far as wiring goes I wasn't too worried about that, figured I could just cut the corrugated loom and expose more wiring and "stretch it out".

Anyone in So Cal willing to lend me there CLS elbow to try it out I have spare CLS TB gaskets

Thanks for the help Allout

Daily bump to see if anyone in the So Cal area can help me confirm whether or not its just the elbow, starting to think it is but its hard to tell from pics.

damn Nick, i've never expect this happening to you... you're like the SC guru... you're much like Guru Pitka now hahahah

anyway, you got the wrong elbow, you should have gotten the one for CL. Because of the height of the CL manifold it needed to step a notch so it will align perfectly. The Accord manifold is lower... remember what your "best friend" Aidan did to mine to fit the Accord SC elbow to my J32? yeah he cut it and weld the mofo!

I want to be the SC "Guru", but i won't take that title anymore because everybody knows that TURBO is

For... The... Win...

Yeah I realized that but now its a matter of proccuring this CLS elbow, waiting to see if someone wants to trade for my J30 elbow. Sean and I talked about it, and yeah I remember that welded elbow of yours since you gt a real CLS one about 2 years back if not a little more then that.
