VRSF Charge Pipe Rubbing on Power Steering Hose

8081M · 10-06-2021, 08:28 PM

The factory charge pipe decided it no longer wanted to be a charge pipe, so I opted to replace it with a VRSF option. It almost fits perfectly, with the exception of one power steering hose, which it's firmly touching. Anyone else have this problem and have a solution? I'm thinking my options are put a "dimple" in it (charge pipe), re-route the power steering hose, or buy an OEM charge pipe (for $391 + shipping).

Do you also demand that none of the food on your plate be touching?

I think this might be why some people rate evolution racewerks charge pipe as the best fitting. I just let mine rub a little.
