FP Intake is cutting the hose to WG Nipple

[2bclutch]

So I just installed the FP Intake. It is pushing so hard up against the WG Nipple on the 16G that it is pushing the nipple through the hose and hence is causing the MBC to be rendered useless and is boosting to infinity. Is it possible to bend the WG nipple to where it doesn't push against the pipe or will that damage/distort the WG nipple?

how far do you need to bend the nipple to get it to clear?

I'd just do it slowly, it should bend... "should" being the operative word.

Just a little bit I'd guess. Doing it a little at a time might work. What about cutting the nipple in half so it's a lot lower down. That would lose the bead on it, but is there enough pressure going through that hose that not having a bead would pop it off?

I believe on my brother's we cut the nipple down just below the bead. We use a zip tie on the nipple and it holds fine. It's still an extremely close fit with it cut down.

I have a 4" Dejon Tool intake with an FP reducer coupler on my small 16g. I just cut the wastegate nipple. No need to bead it - just use a zip tie.

Edit: I need to learn to use the refresh button. The above post is by my brother.

I ended up bending it toward the radiator and the intake actually sat lower as well, the recirc tube fit better and all that. So far boost is holding rock solid and that intake spools that turbo HARD it's amazing. Anyway, thanks for the input. if it cuts the hose again I'll just cut the nipple down like turbosax and snowboarder.
