Fitted as far as it would go? whats the best way to trim it?

it should just fit as standard if you are running the standard cooler
as it has been pushed back to fit, then yes you will need to trim it. Best way to trim it, either with a blade from a dremel multitool, or the usual small saw. Cut it bit by bit so you dont cut off too much
best way to say is loosen the pipe from the IC pipe onto the throttle body pipe, and place it over one another to see how much it overlaps - this will give you an idea of how much you need to cut away
Mate, which hoses are these on the forge site? Can you give me a link please?
Nice one, thanks. Didnt realise that kink was such an issue? I will sort it this lunch time.
Heres the link mate, http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=190201&product=FMKT005
general rule of thumb is that no pipe on an engine should be kinked as I am sure you know
you should feel a slight improvement in performance due to a smoother running intake of air, as the kink will cause a disruption to the air flow

Cheers. Hmm, the intercooler hasnt been changed, wonder why it doesnt fit flush then?
That is listed for the 180bhp engine, is it the same for the LCR because I can't see anything similar under the listings for an LCR.
P.S sorry for the hijack.
Yo,
Just did a quick fix at lunch, took off approx 20mm. The down part of the pipe is now verticle, i am assuming this is correct or should it be at a slight slant?
