R56 how to remove tubo inlet hose and install forge inlet
#1
#2
UPDATE:
SO removal of the inlet pipe is pretty easy. Unclamp the 2 clamps, one is at the MAF (mass air flow) housing at the top, and the second is at the turbo housing at the bottom. Now there is a small, black line running over the inlet hose itself, unattach that at the side where the line clicks into the engine block. Finally, there is a hose going into the inlet near the bottom bend , this is the recirculation line. To take this off, simply pull it out. Mine was secured by a black ziptie that I had to cut, and I replaced it with a hose clamp (1 1/4"). It is simple enough, but when comparing it to the recommended Forge silicone it looks completely wonky. I hope this helps some DIY guy desperately looking at how to get this thing off. BTW, all of this is a half hour at Flow mini ($45 in labor), so buy yourself something nice when you are done!
