16g Wastegate Actuator nipple

The Wastegate Actuator Nipple is in the way of my intake tube coupling. The coupling sits right on top of the nipple and will kink the hose. What do I do?

I just bent mine towards the front of the car til it cleared.Be careful not to kink the nipple.

You bent the actual nipple?

Bent mine too, as long as it's not rusted to hell or an extreme bend without pinching it - it should work fine.

Why would they design it like this in the first place?

So I am guessing bending the nipple is my only option?

They designed it like this because originally it wasnt going on our cars ^^ dur. Second, just bend it slightly till you have clearance.
