Those of you with the correct fitting parts, which is correct, is the elbow supposed to be 1/8th or 1/4th? For now, I reduced it with a 1/4 -> 1/8th adapter and a 1/8th male/male nipple as shown below.

EDIT: Just spoke to Ben @ AIRAID and it appears the tube itself has the incorrect threading. They're shipping out a new tube to me ASAP. Not sure if my reduction hack is going to cause some performance issues or other problems, so I'm just going to keep the car off the road until I get the new tube in place. Thanks to the folks at AIRAID for the quick response!

Also - at first I couldn't figure out how the firewall plug was supposed to be installed. It turns out you have to remove the stock grommet completely, then push the firewall plug in from the engine side and give the center part a good push until you feel it click.

At first I wasn't pushing it hard enough and it kept falling out, so then I tried it with the stock grommet and that didn't really work either. Then I tried different permutations from engine side as well as cabin side.

I've got the wrong elbow / tube threading also. Thanks to those that mentioned checking kit contents prior to install!! I believe that a 1/4" NPT tap should fit this port instead of a 1/8" NPT.
