Aftermarket parts fitment help

So I installed my stm short route uicp and it seems to be hitting my ets intake 45degree coupler. It's actually crushing the coupler almost 50% closed, it also has created a lot of tension on my bov recirc hose because it barely reaches the intake. has anyone else had this problem? Does it not work well with this intake?
All advice is appreciated

yes, some parts are not compatible…

welcome to the world of tuning.

sometimes you just to end up weighing up which part means more to you…

you have have to find a different intake or different intercooler piping.

Op about what intake coupler you talking about?the only coupler here is by the turbo.your uicp should go under the intake tube.
