Default Rs4 inlet pipe won't fit with upper radiator hose in place...

almost have everything together from the stage three swap and the RS4 inlet pipe hits the upper Rad hose, is there another upper rad hose I need to use? This is on an 01 S4. Thanks for any help.

Default

The pipe probably isn't on the turbo all the way. It's a close fit.

Default So there's not a different radiator hose that is used on the rs4? Crap, any hints on how to adjust

the RS4 inlet pipe at the turbo with engine in? Thanks,

Elijah

Default With the radiator hose off the inlet pipe fits in plece and bolts on fine but the rad hose won't

connect. Since the pipe bolts in place fine doesn't this tell me its on the turbo far enough? Thanks again.

Default IIRC I had that same problem once. Tried the rad hose in different positions and suddenly I figured

what was wrong. cant recall what it was now though, but it goes in two ways and only one of cource fits. Or then I just loosened the hanger bolt support to make it fit? It took some time to get it right, minor PITA
