Aaahhh

So im trying to install this Gimmick turbo inlet boot and it gave me all the nipples but there is a breather hose that has an electrical plug and a small hard plastic piece inside that my new nipple won't fit into. Is there an adapter that i need to buy? and why didnt the product mention this? Where can i find this adapter? Do i still need it?
Thank You,
Subaru Enthusiast

Ok so i figured it out. If your trying to install a turbo inlet boot and your car is 04+ then your gonna have a PCVconnector. The nipple that they supply you with wont fit in the stock hole so disconnect the harness and remove the male pin and insert into female side and secure with tape. All your doing is bypassing the connector unit. Then you can remove the sensor deal and fit your new nipple in the hose.

a haha ha ha no it's good now but it was a *****. it literally took three guys to get that boot on. Now i know there are a lot of you out there to claim to have done it by yourself BUT.. i don't think that's the case!!! idk maybe it just varies on the car. Would have been easier with aftermarket intake manifold and if a wiring harness wasn't in the way. I just dont know why companies selling these products dont mention anything about the PCV connector, Perrin was the only one. Thank you Perrin Performance!!
