yes, the idea of this part is to flip the throttle body round therefore clearing the fuel tank...

cheers

When considering flipping the throttle body, be aware that this is only an option on the Subaru engines which have the bulky idle speed control valve mounted on the inlet manifold. Later models (from about '98 onwards) which have the very compact ISC valve on the throttle body itself can not use such throttle body adaptors, as there is two passage ways in the throttle body gasket - one for the main throttle, and a seperate one for the ISC valve.
I make all the parts to reverse the entire manifold and move the alternator out of the way of the throttle body - the best solution on later engines when the throttle body gets in the way of the VW fire wall (i.e. bays and Beetles). I must update the page on my web site to show them.
