Need some help: ER charge pipe install

marketmaster · 07-05-2014, 01:24 PM

So when reading, this seemed to be an easy install. Of course I would run into some problems. Hopefully they are small though. I have everything off and when trying to install the ER charge pipe, the clip seems not to be wanting to clip on. I have taken a picture here:

I transferred over the clip and also gasket. I can't open the clip up enough to slide on the pipe.

Also, how are the diverter valves supposed to be mounted? I have the forged diverter valves. A picture would tell the story.

I bought the pipe used and the instructions from ER was not included. Any help would be greatly appreciated as the car is down.

Thanks

What do you mean you can't open the clip enough? Take it off all together, seat the ER pipe on the throttle body, then slip the C-Clip over it. Simple.

I can't speak to the DVs as I don't run them.

So the c clip slides on the exterior? Didn't envision that. The OEM clips on the inside. Do you have a picture?

C-Clip is definitely supposed to be on the exterior. OEM is on the exterior as well. Ill grab a pic if I can find one.

This is an N55 but its the same concept:

marketmaster · 07-05-2014, 01:56 PM

So in my pictures it's slid on the inside, i need to clip it on the outside, right?

Correct. Take it off from the inside of the chargepipe.

You can then slide it on loosely on the outside of the chargepipe so its sticking out an inch or so. Then connect to the throttle body. Lastly, slide the clip fully on and it will lock to the indentation on the throttle body. You will understanding what I am saying if you line up the chargepipe to the throttle body with the clip completely off. It will make sense.

Take it off more (the c clip) and it will "slide right in" gl

and your forge diverter valves should be mounted so the logos are facing each other, i.e. not upwards.

Looks right but hard to tell

OB · 07-06-2014, 10:11 AM

damn, never seen the DV's mounted so closely together. but otherwise it looks fine from what I can tell

deltalima0 · 07-06-2014, 10:32 AM

It looks like you did have it I the picture but you also need the round rubber seal inside or you will get boost leaks.
