So I installed my ER chargepipe (took me about 3.5 hours). Not the easiest install ever... My question is this. So when you remove the stock charge pipes from the intercooler you need to remove those plastic black clips (the ones that you can't see because they are behind or on top) prior to popping off the metal clips that lock the charge pipes to the intercooler. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to reattach those black plastic clips when I reattached both the new chargepipe and the passenger side stock one (FMIC to turbo). I simply used the metal clips to lock the charge pipes onto the intercooler. Is this going to be OK? What's the purpose of those black clips?

You don't need them don't worry. The black clips hold the oem pipe on

The passenger side pipe (intercooler to turbo) is still stock. I didn't use the black plastic clip on that one either when I reattached it. Do I need it? Thanks for the reply.

the stock side (passenger side) should remain the same (with black piece intact) , the side with the ER chargepipe does not need the black piece. hope that helps!

Damn, thanks for the reply. Looks like I may need to try and reattach that clip... I really don't want to, might just take my chances.

Is there currently an F2X specific guide? What were you using?

1-Place the metal clip with the L shape and clicking it into place, make sure the ends of the metal clip (that twist in an L shape) are pointing away from the intercooler and up towards the turbo.

2-You will notice three insertion points on the oem charge pipe which correlate to the three small clip-like triangles under the black plastic clip. Place the black clip ontop of the charge pipe (boost pipe), where the three insertion points are, after having the metal ring in place (previosly clicked into place in step 1).Make sure the arrow on the black plastic clip is pointing away from the intercooler.

3-Slide the black plastic clip up (away from the intercooler) as it should feel snug and into place .

Hope it s!

Thanks for the response. I'll give this a try maybe next week. I'm going to have to get the car back on a lift and take the splash guard off again (pain in the ass... who uses 22 bolts to hold that thing up anyway)
