Default KO4 inlet pipes ---> turbo inlet. possible problem.

on the KO3's the inlet pipe had an o-ring inside it where it mated up to the turbo.

on the KO4's, where do you guys put your o-ring? inside the inlet pipe against those cross bars?

The o-ring goes on the turbo compressor housing inlet.

Default and how does that fit for you? does the pipe just slide right on or do you need to put a lot of effo

rt into it? ive heard of people actually sanding the paint on the inlet tube to get it to fit.

You may need to sand/grind. After a certain manufacture date, the inlet pipes stopped fitting well.

Default 2nd. there is an indentation on the turbo to accept the o-ring.
