Currently fitting my forge tip and have been for 3 hours now

How do you put the metal line onto the metal nipple on the tip??

its impossible because the nipple is in a completely different place to the standard tip (typical of an aftermarket part)

any ideas??

Ive also had to fit this without moving the big metal pipe out of the way as the previous owner has toasted the allen head bolt!! reason its took so long

Yer I noticed the power delivery seems smoother, adds a nice whistle too, sound awesome on full boost lol

I think my turbosmart sounds different now though, its gone high pitched and sounds rubbish lol

Dont say that as i have a turbosmart dv & now im having 2nd thoughts of changing the t.i.p if it alters the sound to a high pitched dump lol
