Hey, Ive just got the same cooler fitted, and found the same problem too! Rang Powerdigger directly and they advised me to connect between the Bov and manifold hose. Seems to be the only spot to fit it!!!!!!!

hey fellas i have exactly the same problem with the exact same kit. i have been advised that you can get screw in nipples for the new piping. this is what i plan to do. also putting a t piece in the vacuum line between the stock bypass gasket and the inlet manifold. another quetion, did you guys have to trim your fan blades to make the crossover piping fit? this seems F*%king stupid because the fan is a crucial part of the engine and is perfectly balanced and cutting it would cause shuttering and the water pump to crapp itself?

anyway what you guys do? r33 II

If you gonna use the piping kit as it is then you have got no choice but to trim the fan. Agree its a very dumb idea coz Hybrid just make the kits for generic application not car model specific. Any way when I got my kit installed was advised not to trim too much of ther fan but rather had the pipe raised with a longer silicon hose on the left and a small bar to hol the top pipe mount on the engine. Still need to trim just a little bit off the fan. Well, I guess what you pay is what you get . . .
