I installed my ZZP hot side today and I ran into the problem of not being able to secure it properly so that it's not jumping around in the engine bay during boost. Anyone else have this problem? It seems as if the A/C line is blocking me from being able to secure it.

Are you sure it is seated right at the turbo and at the connector leading to the 2nd piece?

It's installed properly. No matter how I maneuver it, it keeps hitting the A/C line.

I bought the upgraded couplers from ZZP and I can move the charge piping in any direction except towards where the bolt is supposed to secure it.

Were they supposed to supply a bolt for that mounting bracket? I've seen pictures of their ZZP hot side installed and all of them have a different bolt from the stock one. If I had a longer bolt then it would be easy to mount, but the stock bolt is short.

Go to lowes and get a longer bolt

Send the pic to ZZP and ask if theres something else supposed to be there.

swweeet quit whining and go drive it. later u can deal with a longer bolt and a spacer, its not a deal breaker to drive with it like that

just email ryan or tim and they'll get you straightened out if something isn't as it's supposed to be

Must be an issue with the upgraded couplers. Go ahead and hack up the stock pipe to get those couplers off and try those. If they work, get your money back for the aftermarket couplers, then buy another stock pipe off of somebody in the Classifieds section for 30 bucks, if you feel like you need it.

i had to cut down my upper coupler cause i had the same problem cut a few inches off reinstall and should be fine

Already drove it. Seems fine, but I don't trust it jumping around inside of the engine bay.

Thanks, bud.

Thats the way the Hahn piping is done. There is no secure point for it.

u probably have the bottom piece that connects to the intercooler turned at the wrong angle, my hahn one was doing the same thing then i move the intercooler piece a little and it cleared the line by over an inch.

just get a long bolt lol gg

If you bought couplers, you probably have to shorten the upper coupler. Make it the same length as the stock one and it will work. We order them long so they can be used with turbo swaps as well.

I doesn't matter how short the couplers are. The charge pipe doesn't even come close to the mounting position with the A/C line there. I tried mounting it with the couplers disconnected from the charge pipe.

I got a longer bolt with mine I believe in a seperate package with the clamps

ssweeet

Interesting. All I received were the clamps, couplers, and the charge pipe.

Mine didn't do that? I don't understand how it's doing that?

Pull the pipe mount it to the bolt hole and see where you are at. If the couplers aren't even remotely close there there an issue with the bracket on hthe pipe.

I feel your pain. Just went through something VERY similar this weekend with an I/C install...

Lowes carries rubber spacers and longer bolts. I would do that. Don't let that line rest or touch the pipe as it could rub and cause problems later.

Then the AC line is not where it is supposed to be. Start there.
