Problems to fit silicon intake turbohose, gc8.
Hi!
I have an 00´ impreza wrx(called gt here in sweden), wanted to upgrade the intake hose without lifting the intake to an silicon one bought from ebay and after much fiddling i got the old one out but there is no way i manage to get silicon hose in place. Is it becuse i bought a cheap one on ebay? and i have myself to blame?
so can anyone help a troubled swede?

Ive never tried it but ive been told before to squash the new intake and cable tie it, move into place and cut the ties, good luck i tried to removed old one then gave up tricky things they are!

When I did mine it was a right pig I used wd40 to help it slid under the manifold but also when you try to push it on to the turbo is creases I cut 10-15mm off the end of the hose and with enough swearing and scuffed knuckles it went on not a job I would want todo again

Nothing wrong with samco, if RCM stock them then you can rest assured the quality is good.
