I've just tried fitting my silicone turbo inlet pipe to my 98 UK wagon.

But when it was getting built back up, the fuel lines were fouling on the silicone pipe and I couldn't get the inlet back on without leaving the fuel pipes un bolted which I didn't really want to do, so I just put the standard one back on for the time being.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

I've attached a pic of the 2 pipes just for confirmation of it being the right one.
And it's the fat bit in the middle of the pipe that's causing the problems!

I have fitted 2 of these in the past , 1 to my 99 uk wagon, and 1 on my current 00 uk wagon , most people will tell you you need to take the inlet manifold off, but no need to . Simply take your time and feed the inlet pipe under the manifold using some fairy liquid to help it slide and feed the breather pipes in and twist to the right to avoid the elbow on the inlet manifold. Once in place twist pipe back round and voilà - job done. Forgot to add you will need to slacken off your power steering reservoir and ease slightly to the right to enable you to feed the hose in initially

It is the correct pipe looking at it , but the top breather hose at the maf end looks to be way to long compared to the o/e unit , which might need trimming a little , what make is it ?.

It's just a Billy no make one that I bought off here.

When I get enough time to stick my head under the bonnet and have another pop at it, I'll measure them and get trimming if needed.

Thanks for the replies pal.
