Turner intake is a hell to install
I just purchased a tuner intake for my n55.
I’ve been at this for like 6 hours now and it’s just been a hell. Currently I’m stuck on trying to fit the vacuum line. It seems as if the vacuum line is way too big to go inside on the slot for the intake. Any tips? |

If you have a set of calipers measure to make sure that the vaccum line is indeed able to fit before forcing it. Then try some silicone lube, or engine oil. If that doesn't work contact turner.

Don’t have calipers but it definitely seems like the tube on the intake is too small for the actual vacuum line. So I’ll definitely be contacting them.
I know you can’t tell much on the size through pictures, especially with the markings on them but just to somewhat give you an idea |

This is what it's supposed to look like: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/13907604938/
I suspect you didn't squeeze the connector hard enough and accidentally pulled off the bung from you prior intake instead of disconnecting the hose. Here's what you need to do, get channel locks and squeeze the tabs on the circular part of the connector where it has the little grooves signifying where to ssqueeze. Then use pilar's to pull the silver bung out, that's not supposed to be there. After that the hose should fit fine. It's going to be tight to get it to release, so be gentle on the connector or you'll break it. When using channel locks grab it directly on, don't go side ways around the circumference, the handle of the channel locks should be parallel with the metal piece.

Ah! That’s what it is then. I’ll had the Eventuri CAI it came with a rubber piece connecting from the intake over to the silver piece and into the vacuum line. When I pulled it off I did only pull off the rubber connecting piece thinking the silver was part of the vacuum line. Thank you so much. I will go ahead and remove it with the channel locks.
