Hi,

I purchased and received a FTP charge pipe from a reputable vendor.

Can't seem to get the pipe to fit over turbo outlet. No matter how I pushed and twisted (and shouted) the pipe just doesn't seem to fit over turbo outlet enough for the c-clamp to lock in place.

I am by no means an expert installer but I tried to reinstall the stock pipe and it clipped back with ease.

Is there something that I may be missing to do here?

Sorry couldn't take a picture of where the issue might be as it's super tight area to work with.

I have a picture of the stock pipe side by side FTP for comparison. They look very similar. Could the blue arrow point to where the issue is?

I recommend you reach out to your vendor with install pictures, and they will create a warranty claim with FTP directly to solve the issue or replace the charge pipe

Soooo i did my install today on my 240 i wish it was easy as my f22 lol. You will need to use some force and put that pipe on. As long as it is for a G series it will go on. I put a little Grease on mine and had to damn near force it on the turbo. The clip finally snapped in and i made sure it was in there tight, moving and trying to wiggle off. Now im ready to put my meth nozzles next and let a rip.

I think I need some weeks of gym to attempt again. Lol. Need a lot of patience too. The stock pipe was a bitch to wriggle out.

The CTS turbo inlet pipe install was a breeze. It clipped on so easy it felt like the installation wasn't right; The pipe doesn't slide around the turbo inlet by itself but it does very freely if I push it with little effort

lol take out the C Clamp and then push the pipe on, then slap on the c clamp. At least after this one is secured in it will never pop out lol. good luck and i know that old stock pipe, had to remove so many things just to take it out. thank god the down pipe will be easier.
