have you connected all other end clamps? if so undo them a little to allow for some movement. It should just slot back in unless everything else is locked tight, with a bit of a wiggle a bit of lube and a few choice words.

i havent put the hose clamps back on yet..not enough gap or space to wiggle the other end...not even enough space to push it down and slot back in.!! really frustrating me now!! i got it out easy at the first place but putting it back in is an asS thing to do!!!

anymore trick to slot it back in guys??

what do you mean by not enough room to push it back down and slot it in, Try completley disconnecting the other end of the pipe so you have more movement to push it on then connect the other end when the throttle body end is on....where bouts are you?

sorry mate but the only way to get it on is to persevere at it and have plenty of patience. i always have trouble with my piping yet i eventually get it back on. Im missing a couple fingers off my main hand and i can do it.

well as u could see on the photo,i got the left side out, but the other end i couldnt, no way i could disconnect completely at the other end..pretty much dead end...i live in altona..next to altona beach or altona station...

There is no real "trick", just have to make it go in :blink:

Sometimes a tiny bit of oil around the inside edge can help

i know what u mean, but thats not even close to my case, my hose is not even facing evenly with the other end/inlet that you can just lube it and slot it back in...hose is slightly few m.m. above the inlet manifold and tried pushing it down to face the inlet and so i can just slip it thru but thats where the problem is, cant push it down far to face the inlet and then in...argggg

    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
    • Are you telling me I'm going to need a code reader etc to just change the battery when it dies...  Why did I let you talk me into allowing Kate to buy this car lol
