Has anybody else installed a Turbo Technics inlet pipe onto a Mk7 or 7.5 R? What did you do with the tube that connects from the engine block and goes back into the firewall? I'm not sure exactly what the tube is but I've highlighted it red in picture.
I've managed to get the Turbo Technics to fit by twisting that tube around underneath but I'm not sure if that's right or not? The tube is quite rigid so doesn't follow the curve of the inlet hose very well. The original turbo inlet had a much tighter 90 degree elbow so the tube was just in free space and not touching anything.
I will get the garage to double check everything when I take it in for some work during Jan, but just wondered if anybody else has encountered the same issue or had another solution.
For anybody reading this in the future, note that I spoke to both Turbo Technics and Regal Autosport and they both confirmed that routing of the vacuum tube below the inlet hose is correct, and that it is a tight fit. Here is another picture I was provided that shows the vacuum tube more clearly, routing under the inlet hose and actually now actually touching the turbo outlet housing.
