Hot side pipe rubbing on ac line

[WolfDampf]

Installing a whoosh v3 intercooler. Went in no problems just had to remove the middle bracket for the splash tray. But now I can't find a way to prevent these two hoses from rubbing. Should I just wrap them up in something?

if you cannot rotate the boost pipe a tiny bit, I would just zip tie them together - even without it, it is a rubber on silicone contact, so I would assume it would take half a century to rub through

AC lines (especially the high pressure side) can see a lot of pressure and temperature variation. I'd want to minimize flexing and contact seen by them.

I've caught a few abrasion issues on my 100% stock setup.

Might adopt a similar approach toward protecting the AC line, but the zip tie of course would be down far enough to not make contact with the charge pipe.

As somebody that works on refrigerant systems, you can bend the hard pipe slightly to gain clearance... It won't take much force and as long as you're not moving it enough to buckle there won't be an issue
