Be prepared, install is a pain lol. So tight in that area. An extra pair of hands helps and you'll need to cut the 135* tube pretty short.I just ordered all the parts to do the same thing. I've always hated that outlet tube coming from the blower.
I almost gave up several times and thought it wouldn't work too. I won't lie, it took me hours and with help half of the time. Took the blower off and had to really force everything together with the clamps loose and then tighten them up real good and bolt the blower back on. Also as mentioned I couldn't get it to fit together until the 135* tube was cut very short, just barely enough to fit the clamp on it.Mine has the same ding. I tried to install it yesterday for first time with P1x and the outlet tube mod you just did. Didn’t work. So I’m stuck with turboguard for now.
Put some more minor work in!
Followed @SheepDog 's writeup and replaced the kinked Procharger outlet tube.
Old, kinked tube
Old vs New
New tube installed, no kink!
Nothing from Procharger, it's all aftermarket.Had the same problem on mine. Is the "New" tube a newer part they've made to try to fix the old one from making such an extreme turn?
Probably get this done myself very soon and go over the whole kit to ensure its integrity.
Do you know the procharger part number for the new tube?
AH! I'll have to look into getting this done soon then. Makes the kit better I think and like many was never a fan of that tubes positioning in generalNothing from Procharger, it's all aftermarket.
Check out the write-up here. He lists everything you need and the whole process.

I admire your determination. I didn’t care to force it, and ruin the Mak pipe or the black finish on the blower. I’ll leave in the garage. Maybe sell it one day if I need funds.I almost gave up several times and thought it wouldn't work too. I won't lie, it took me hours and with help half of the time.

Try a large tire patch to fix that hole. They are super durable and with a 5 min. epoxy or other super strong glue, it will last a long time. It will also keep it from rattling and will keep constant pressure against the rub spot.While I was in there I found my MAK inlet had been rubbing against the frame and actually wore through the metal. Nowhere open to get it patched so i wrapped some spare silicone from the tube job and put a clamp over it to seal it.
Also cleaned inside the blower/impeller real good as it had alot of black residue on the blades. After 40k+ miles not too surprised as I've never actually taken off the pipe and cleaned it before. That couldn't have been helping efficiency. Maybe after these couple small things I can get it up to 850whp.
The MAK pipe damage I had wasn't anything to do with the tube, I found it like that when I took it apart. I hear you though. Definitely don't want to ruin the blower's finish. And forcing it all together definitely wasn't fun.I admire your determination. I didn’t care to force it, and ruin the Mak pipe or the black finish on the blower. I’ll leave in the garage.

Good idea! I like that.Try a large tire patch to fix that hole. They are super durable and with a 5 min. epoxy or other super strong glue, it will last a long time. It will also keep it from rattling and will keep constant pressure against the rub spot.
Do you know the part number? I checked Mak's website and it's a generic "Large S&B PowerStack Air Filter."I'm ordering a replacement air filter so next oil change I'll swap it out and put the patch on the pipe at the same time.
