VRSF Intercooler hose not fitting

ghost_m2c · 02-21-2022, 04:21 PM

Hey all,
I recently got my 5 inch intercooler from vrsf and everything fits right except the lower hose on the drivers side. I have used WD-40 to try and slide it on and nothing is working.I havevbeen trying for hours to get this thing on and it will slightly go on, then when I put the hoseclamp on, it pops off of it. Any suggestions?

maybe heating it up a little with some hot water or a heat gun to make it a little more pliable/flexible?

I had issues with how tight the silicone hoses were too. I just needs to be warm and I used windex to help slide it on. It really helps to have a second set of hands too.
