Tips for charge pipe install? 35D
 
Do I need to disconnect radiator hoses to get my hot side charge pipe installed or are there some tips to squeezing it in there?


Thanx

If similar to 35i, just need some luck on your side. I didn't get mine all the way on and boost popped it off right into a serpentine belt pulley and it cut a hole so JB weld to the rescue !

Open the coolant reservoir so no pressure or vaccum so the hoses can compress and search YouTube for a video showing the process.

no you do not need to remove radiator hoses, but it does help.

I've replaced the entire suspension and yet this is about the most frustrating thing I've had to deal with. The green seal won't stay put during installation. I've given up on an aftermarket part and I'm waiting on the OEM to arrive.

I stand corrected. OEM pipe installed with no issues. Just the two aftermarket hoses gave me problems.

Similar to aftermarket coolant reservoir! Holy hell that was hard to put on! Glad you sorted it!
