Hi there

Got a bit of a problem with my intercooler. it originally came off my mk5 golf gti

this is end the of the intercooler already on the car

the issue im having is the couplers that have come with the hoses circles in red have no possible way of connecting into the ends of the S3 intercooler. im pretty sure that i dont actually need these couplers to connect the hose to the end of the intercooler. My problem is, is that the pipes are far too big for the ends

i can get the pipe on both circled in blue and at the front onto the fmic i just cant figure out how it connects onto the end of the S3 intercooler. I am pretty sure that my ends (marked with a red arrow) are slightly too big even with a house clamp.

my next question is..
is there any way around this or any sort of hard pipe extender to make the ends on the S3 intercooler slightly larger to fit onto the forge pipes or do they sell a pipe kit sepretly..

many thanks :)
