Who's running an II turbo with a Jacobs E-Brake?

Who's running an industrial injection turbo with a jacobs exhaust brake? I installed a SPS 62 yesterday and now my exhaust brake is hitting the firewall. I'm trying to decide between denting the firewall or replacing the brake with an inline pacbrake.

have you tried to rotate the brake for more clearance? My pacbrake fits on my silver bullet.

I'm running a SPS66 from II with a Jacobs exhaust brake. I dented the firewall, and all's good. Just don't go more than you need to...

Switching to the Pac brake may not be a bad idea though.

Come on now, give me a little credit here. The brake won't even mate up to the turbo because the vaccum canister is hitting the firewall. The pacbrake has a different design and doesn't have a baseball size canister sticking out the back of it.

I already have mine sold so I'm going with the 5 inch inline pacbrake

I just installed the 5" pacbrake in preparation for the 62/12. I couldn't bring myself to cave in the firewall on my truck $1,300 shipped to the door with the small air tank included.
