I have bought some new turbo hoses for my '98 v70 R and they are a tight fit, so tight they are a bugger to get on, has anyone had this issue and if so please could you tell me how you managed to fit them in the end?!

use engine oil on the inside of the pipe, lots of swearing helps too.

Warm them up in some boiling water first, dry them off then fit them warm polyurethane is a lot more plyable when warm hot like any other rubber to be fair, would not use oil you really don't want the boost pipes sliping off under full load and oil perforates plastic rubber etc!!!

take any charge air pipe off a T5, what do you find a thin layer of, inside?

WD40,will be gone soon enough and won`t effect afterwads.
Well thanks for the sarcasim anyway if not any sound advice, Funny if your turbo leaks really coz my pipes are as clean as the day they went on !!! Clean!!!
Ben Watson
not being sarcastic mate, the breather system naturally deposits a small amount of oil in the inlet pipe which then gets distributed as a thin layer of oil inside the charge air pipes. if there's none at all in yours, you might want to have a look at your pcv system. unless you're running a separate catch tank?

Wd40 works wonders
I wouldnt use oil myself , diesels have a habit of the pipes popping off even when the clip is tight because of this.
wd or something that evaporates is best.
