The silicone coupling that came with my APS TT kit is just a TINY bit too short. No matter how hard I try, I can't get a good bite with the clamps. Last night I blew the main charge tube off for the third time and I am getting sick of it.

Question: Who knows where I can get a longer silicone coupling that will fit the charge tube/throttle body connection?

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Thats weird, I've never had this problem.

 

ive done it a handful of times, i finally got some stronger heavier duty clamps so i could really tq down on them. kinda scary feeling when it happens.

Thanks for the links. Does anyone happen to know what size it is? (I'm not near my car now and would like to order ASAP)

 

I can't imagine it being too short. How deep do you have it down in the intercooler outlet coupler???

 

Trust me, it's too short. I even backed it off the throttle body almost a full half inch and it still doesn't quite engage all the way. It doesn't matter how far the charge tube is into the intercooler outlet hose because the tube is bolted to the front of the block. It can only be in one position.

 

You're right, I forgot about the bolt that secures it to the timing cover
