Wow I remember stretching couplers back when I was installing intakes for friends as a teenager. Throw it in the microwave, burn hands while trying to stretch it over the pipe, repeat...

Did you buy the turbo hot side from a guy in Canada? Looks like one I had fabbed up and then later sold. Setup to run a big T6 turbo.
