Its intercooler to chargepipe connection right? |
That is the top side connection; I don't have any trouble connecting and disconnecting that side.
The intercooler to chargepipe connection is at the bottom and front of the driver's side. I can't get my hand on it due to reinforcing crossmembers and the other components that can't be removed without significant disassembly.
I was able to completely remove the charge pipe assembly for inspection, and reinstall it back to the original state, meaning I still can't snap it into the intercooler. The two springs on the intercooler female coupling can be reached and I pushed them open with my finger tips. They seem very easy to move.
I think I would have to jack the car up, remove some plates from underneath, to actually get my hand around that lower end of the chargepipe to have the force to insert it.
