the power steering fitting hits the throttle body flange on the manifold side. is it enough to simply cut it to slip the hose on or do i need to cut clock the flange and reweld it on to have the fitting face in a slightly different direction. also im having an extremely hard time getting my power steering resivoir to fit where the factory bracket places it did you have this problem? it seems like im going to have to somehow bend it as far back as possible and it will still be a very tight fit. im considering just buying a slimmer canton PS resivoir.

Okay,
Yes, the TT flange on the pump itself needs to be cut, clocked, and welded. Here is a pic of mine, although its tough to see where I ahve it ran. I basically rotated it 15-20 degrees towards the fron of the car:
As far as the PS pump, I modify the NA ones and make a nice little bracket for them. It goes in the stock location, and is a pretty tight fit, at least on our intakes:
As for the IAC, are you using the TT one? The NA is not designed to work with the VW manifold. That may in fact be the problem, as the sizes are different. Hope this helps, and im sure we can steer you more in the right direction should you need more info.
