Looking for help wrapping up inlet install
I'm in the process of installing a new turbo inlet, and can't get the new inlet on to the turbo. I have the inlet in place, but can't slide the end on to the turbo. If someone would be willing to help me get this thing on I would be extremely grateful. I have a ton of tools but it seems like what I really need now is another pair of hands. I'm located in palo alto on the border of mountain view, if you think you could help me out with this please let me know. I'm open to hearing tips as well, I just really dont want to take the intake manifold off.

Here are some tips. First I unbolted the downpipe and then the uppipe at the header. so the uppipe is still connected to the turbo. I'm sure you can buy the tool but I just made it. Grab a butane or stronger torch and heat up a flathead screwdriver and bend a lip out of it the tip. This will help you read into the silicone and lift up once you actually have the bottom over the turbo inlet. the uppipe and downpipe disconnected will allow you to tilt the turbo down or side to side if needed.
