I had a similar problem when my kit was installed. I turned my MAP sensor around and shaved some material off the top and viola! SC w/ a strut bar. There are a few pics located here in the article I wrote awhile back http://hybrid.honda-perf.org//marcbsc.html but it's a bit difficult to see. Scroll down thru the article to see the pics.
HTH.

I posted in the past about this issue. My father is a machinist and he made billet aluminum spacers and they worked out quite well. I don't know if he can make them for any strut bar considering the differnt mounting styles but it definately works excellent for those with the Comptech or OEM Type R bars. It fits and works perfectly drop me a line via e-mail maybe he can make some more sets since he already has the measurements for the space I needed. I can't promise anything but I'll throw it his way and see what he says.
To The LS Avenger. the reason your not running into this issue is because the larger blowers gooseneck that links to the throttle body is positioned differntly than the m45 blower. Thus making your map sensor avoid any issue with strut tower bars. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Ah ha ! Nice to hear I avoided at least one issue. Had a problem with the stock FPR not fitting, had to get one from a TypeR that had like a 45 degree bend to it. Plus wrong belt sizes and lots of other fun...
