Is it just me or does the 2 inch hump hose only work for late ALH powered TDIs? I have noticed that those having problems just using the hump hose have early ALH MK4s. Just my observation but this isn't as easy as it seems at first glance.
I have a early build 2000 Golf (07/99; it has the same outlet pipe and PP as the 99.5). The 2 inch hump hose does not let the 1.8t PP bolt right up when using the outlet pipe from an 03 Golf (the stock outlet pipe on my car is not suitable for his upgrade: it does not have the metal connector at the PP end and is smaller in diameter than the later ALH outlet pipe as well). I'm going to have to follow 1heavyfoot and cut the outlet pipe, remove some length, turn it, and rejoin it using a coupler to get it to fit correctly without kinking. I have most of what I need to do it, just haven't done it yet. I've had bigger fish to fry (head gasket, timing belt, turbo rebuild, etc.). I will try to post pictures of the mods I'm talking about when I do this later.
