Was routing about while getting ready to move house and found my engine covers . Fitted both small side ones but the main one with V6 written on it wont fit . Its fouling with the throttle body boot sensor plug . I have venair boot . Should the plug point upwards slightly?

Some aftermarket TBB's like Samco and Autobahn88 do stick up more than the stock items. You could try trimming it down a little, so long as you leave enough space for the clip which holds the sensor in place to get a good grip.

probably not a good idea to trim them - can cause boost leaks if not done properly - check your dv's are set the right way as these can interfere
i have my main cover left off atm with some samco hoses

The only bit sticking up is the sensor plug off the tbb , aslong as i can get a good hose clip on should be fine ill have a look in a min
