hello guys, does anyone know or has a thread for removing the charge pipes from the engine? i have the parts to add meth and i need to remove them to add the adaptors for the nozzles. thank you

It's only a bolt and two hose clamps per side, however it is an extremely frustrating and difficult job lol.
The issue is they're just not a lot of room to work with the fan assembly being in close proximity, and the attachment at the actual turbo inlet is extremely snug. In fact it's actually spring loaded.
I found that just the awkwardness of your arm position made it very hard to get it off and especially back onto the turbo.
If I was to do it again, I would likely just remove the fan assembly.
I posted a few links from the WIS in this thread, they should get you started. Hopefully other people chime in with some tips

People have seen better results from meth in places other than the charge pipes, so it may be worth exploring that also.

Where do you suggest is worth adding the nozzles for the best results?

I'll refer to this thread, particularly number 7 in the first post.
