Yeah, I like that too, just hoping for a more upright position. It really doesn't matter as I can fabricate the piece easily enough. He's done the heavy lifting.

I was having the same issue with the B&M one... only it was longer!
Yeah the B&M one looks like it has to lay down to be able to shut the hood
Fitz's is a much cleaner install and a bigger hose for easier filling.

Ha, I knew it would come up, there are 2 options, 3D printed funnel, or take out the adapter fitting and thread in a flexible extension or elbow, or there is always the flexible trans funnel.

It looks simple, but I spent many hours with that thing in every position you could possibly imagine, with many different lengths and angles, the overall best fit? out past the DI pump, pointing at the battery, looked too funky and anything out the right is close to the turbo, my main concerns were keeping it off the body, no harsh bends, away from the turbo and with factory looks if possible.

That's why it's in the position it's in, In my opinion, it is the best compromise between fit, function and factory looks.

Now I'm off to get a pile of hoses built, bracket/fitting models and machine work.

Thanks for everybody's interest, its been good motivation.

Very thoughtful development...I've printed a custom oil funnel so making another one for trans is no brainer...

Worth mentioning? Need to verify your transmission fluid level ahead of installation.
