God damn it I really don't want to haha

The hose you're seeing is the return. I'm not too worried about that little guy. It's going to see a lot less pressure than the feed will.

I hope that's not the case when I install mine. Dang it now you have my worried. I've read about them slamming shut with turbos but not with roots style blowers.

Everything I've seen is the opposite. Seems only people that have issues are in suck through applications.

Man it should be fine, I've seen worse looking **** work good. There shouldn't be too much movement in those lines to "help" it become a problem. I say run it and tell your buddy to quit ******* with that gasser and get that procharged beast back out. Just my .02

My setup is still rocking the worm clamps and works just fine! Just don't tighten the crap out of them so they dig into the hose, and I hope you used the submersible hose.

Go to your local hardware store and get PEX clamps. They cannot vibrate loose like a worm gear can and the way they clamp down they apply equal pressure.
