There are some rigid pipes bolted to the block... remove the bolt so they move... and the tip slides in much easier...
you will see what I mean when you start the job..
follow this guide.... it is for golf 1.8T but works perfectly ...takes one hour..

No Probs Kenny... I followed those instructions and was easy.... getting the bottom of the tip onto the turbo is really easy from under the car... dont make it difficult and do it all from above
yes - it has been a very rainy year..
I just got a new unit so I can do all tuning inside..... dont like all this rain and soon it will be very cold...
have fun... J

Ave got acsess from under the car and it was still a fuker! Never goin near it again! Takin me the same amount a time, when a managed to get the hose on at the turbo and started to connect everythin at thoe top then a remembered the wee hose to connect at the bottom! Went to push the hose onto the wee spiget and it pushed itno the TIP itself!!!!

thats a b4stard feel for you kenny, that kind of thing happens to me nothing goes smoothly!!! Hope its not broken??!! It helps if you lube things with wd40 or bit of grease etc to help things slip on!!
