Ets licp fitment issue

Hey guys I just got done installing the ets licp and I was having a hard time with the figment of it. I have a cheap cx racing intercooler which I will replace bc it's a pos but it fits the stock ic piping just fine, but when I put the ets licp on it seemed like the coupler from the intercooler to the pipe wasn't the correct angle. I managed to get it on but the coupler is a little twisted but no too bad, and the reducing coupler going on the other side of the licp just makes it also. Any ideas, I was thinking of buying an oem intercooler bc I don't make enough power for a bigger intercooler so what do u guys think?
Thank u
- chris

The reducer couple that goes to the turbo outlet pipe may need to be rotated some to fit properly if I remember correctly from installing mine.

The title is a little misleading It's not our pipe that fits funny. It's designed to work with the factory intercooler as well as most aftermarket intercoolers that utilize the factory inlet location (start of coupler)

The 180 degree side should go to the intercooler and the other side should go towards the turbocharger with a 45 degree 2.5" to 1.75" coupler to the turbo outlet.

Could you put up a picture how it's installed and I will try to help you as best I can.

I can tell you it will fill fit an OEM intercooler, ETS Intercooler, Buschur Intercooler, AMS Intercooler no problem.

I apologize I didn't mean for it to sound like ets licp was the problem in any way, I love all of ets's parts and I will be using a lot more of them in my car in the future. But hearing all this is making me want to just take out the ****ty intercooler I have now and replace that with either the ets or the oem one, I will also try replacing the coupler with an ets one after seeing the condition mine was in and the quality urs are

Mine bolted right in, The UICP will not fit with the stock air box, Found out the hard way, But no regrets on the ETS componants. Good investment IMO.
