I'm completely stock and I haven't been able to get this charge pipe on the car since I bought it. I'm just using the orange rubber piece that goes inside the end and over the turbo. It won't seal on there, the angle is all wrong. What is up with this BS

I put the rubber piece halfway into the charge pipe, then coat the inside of the rubber with oil.
Put the other part into the throttle body rubber thing, then work the other part onto the turbo, rocking it back and forth. It usually takes a few tries, but when you get it right, the rubber seal will go onto the turbo inlet, while being shoved further into the charge pipe.
Its a complete pain in the ASS
Hmm..My procedure is similar, but without the oil. I guess I'll try that, but I could already get the rubber around the turbo outlet while it was in the charge pipe. The problem is that it's still only partway on because the angle just seems so wrong. And trying to force it down further seems like I'm going to break something.
Ok, it was just never gonna happen, I think somebody tried to clock my turbo or something, it's just angled up too much. I used a piece of radiator hose instead of the stock orange piece(which was all chewed up anyway) and it's drivable again. It's stuttering under boost just a little, but it's hard to tell exactly what's going on with no working boost gauge. It's also hard to tell how well it's running when I've never driven one of these cars in optimum condition and it had been sitting for a long time. I figure it's probably supposed to be pretty damn slow, which it is.
I chopped the end of mine off and just used a coupler you should do the same it'll make you hate life less lol. Nissan didn't design that very well plus it's 20+ years old lol
