When I changed mine, I asked Mark from Danville. I can't remember but it has been great for 20,000 miles. Really thinkin you are right with the 90* but not sure what is before that

hell no lol. forgot i have to make a new gasket on the compressor end cause when trent made this kit (this was the very first twin/test kit) he didnt put a v-band flange on the cold pipe that used an o-ring. Ill have it done this weekend regardless though cause i wanna see how it reacts with the trailer on it next weekend
