ATM outlet hose difficulty
https://www.atmspeedshop.com/product...utlet-hose-kit
bought this but im having tough time installing it. the turbo outlet and intercooler is way off. i tried installing it onto intercooler and push everything up to turbo but angle is way off and it wont snap in. i tried installing hose onto turbo, then pushing intercooler only up but again, hose and intercooler connection is way off. hose is very stiff so it is difficult to "make it fit" any advice? so after fighting with it for 4 hours i give up and install the oem orange hose back. it just snaps back in first try. man i hate ATM. |

Install the metal ends first without the silicon hose. Soak that thing in boiling hot water then re-install. Orientation has to be perfect though. Sure it's lined up like stock?

yes i did try metal first but its wont line up. its about an inch off. boiling water , that may help. yeah hose is stiff as a rock so a nice and warm hose may allow me to bend it an inch into place.

You want a hose that stays put no? It's the defacto upgrade for a reason.
