I'm attempting to figure out all the little details of installing a VNT-17 (NOT a VNT-17/22) on my 2003 VW Jetta GLS. The thing that has me hung up is just how the Kerma TDI adapter works/installs with my stock hoses.
(link for reference to the part )
I'd like to see a picture of the install and hear if there's any custom trimming/fabrication necessary to make the adapter work. I've read everything from people rotating their turbos to make the hoses alight better to trimming the stock hose in order to get a cleaner install.
Could someone please provide some clarity? I'd really rather not put up the money for a $200 hose, but I'm a little leery to buy a new VNT-17 and have to loosen it up, twist things, and tighten it back down in order to get it to clear power steering lines...
I've done my research/searching, so please provide a link if I missed a previously posted picture or an article spelling this out in detail.
