I ordered the Fenfab hot side charge pipe. Everything going to smooth on the install except I can’t seem to get the pipe in the sleeve on passenger side turbo area. Is there a safe method to use to maybe lube the sleeve to make it slip in easier? Or a method to get it on besides push down and twist? Thanks in advance everyone. P.S. love the product and looks great

Shit I forgot to reply to your message. Sorry.
Anyway…if you’re fighting it pop the boot off the turbo, heat it up in some boiling water, dry it out and slip it onto the FenFab pipe first. No lube…the connection will pop apart under boost.

All good man lol. I was gonna pop the boot off but I can’t the access the clamp bolt/screw to the end closest to turbo. I have more time today I will double check once I get the kid from school but I’m sure I wasn’t able to.

Unbroken, by the way, did you get an extra clamp in the kit? It’s a clamp that is smaller than the rest. What did you use it for?
