Injen intake install problem

NYC 135i · 10-25-2010, 05:02 PM

Hey i pretty much have everything installed correctly and the coupler going on to the throttle body keeps popping off when it gets tight i drove it around for a few after i finally got it to stay on and now i checked it and its off i dont know what to do..any ideas?

give more slack to the rubber to it can go over the Throttle body more, then clamp it with a hose clamp.

i had this problem during install, but i just muscled it over the throttle body by widening it with my fingers and stretched it around, like a rubber band. then i went ahead and put the band over it and tightened it real good

yeah i think i might have it now i just dont want it popping off while driving because i dont want something going wrong

the bend in the intake pipe makes it tricky to make it fit snug against the coupler. just make sure it fits perfectly in the inner ring stop and it should be fine
