Default gorilla hands

puttin a new turbo in my classic 1995 impreza and cant get my hands in to put a clip on the bottom oil pipe..should i put the pipe onto the turbo and lower it onto bottom pipe and will it be easier to get a clip on the bottom as i put rubber pipe on first and lowered turbo onto it but can get my hands in to get a clip on lol..

i put the oil drain hose on first, then lower the turbo down on to the hose with a dash of wd40 to aid fitment. the clip isnt really nessasary as it will be only crank pressure inside the pipe

yes for piece of mind use a cabel tie. there is a fair overlap with the hose and its held between 2 pipes so it wont/ doesnt go anywhere.

if its a larger turbo you have fitted dont do any full boost runs as the engine will be running lean. im sure you know that already tho
