I believe that it is the same bar, but you need to modify it somehow. I asked this question in another thread, awaiting the answer right now.

I have a CorkSport bar, I basically lifted it the high of the bolts, and moved the bar beind the mount with longer bolts (and a spacer do the arms dont squish together. I back athome with only my laptop, so I dont have my pics which are on my desktop, but I'll have new ones for ya sometime soon in the next day or two

I followed Nd4SpdSe's example in his photos and I have had excellent results. I used the corksport strut bar and put spacers in between where the strut bar would go, got a really long bolt and moved the bar back.

I took a dremel to the top piece on the IM covering the VRIS valve and shaved it completely flat (there are some screws that go into it).

HOWEVER BE AWARE: Do not turn the vacuum hose going from the IM to the brake booster around. Little did I know there is a one way valve in that thing and I thought I had ruined my brakes... amazing what a little vacuum will do :roll:

I ordered the bar from Nopi, heated it up and bent it a little and it has plenty of clearance over the IM and no hood issues.
