Default how to remove inlinepro charge pipe

This is the charge pipe with the bov on it. I'm trying to remove it, any tips/help (I've already gotten it loose from the holders on both sides of the pipe but I cannot seem to manuever it out from the hole that leads to the intercooler piping)

Thanks

This, in my opinion, is the worst part of the inline kit. If they had used a compressor with a 90 degree elbow on it, this pipe would be easy to remove and the heat from the manifold wouldn't damage the silicone coupler either. There is no easy way to remove this piece, unless the head is off.

The head does not need to be removed to uninstall the charge pipe.

I spoke with s2kkyo this morning over the phone and explained the easiest way to remove the charge pipe, not even an hour later he showed up at the shop with the charge pipe.

I did not say the head had to be removed, I was just pointing out the one of the only shortcomings of this kit. I have numerous other kits on other cars, and none of them come close to the inline kit. Although this could have clearly been of a much better design.

Hence the reason why I modified their flaw and put a 90 deg. elbow on the comp housing to relocate the coupler.

I agree with these guys, it is a bad design flaw. Great kit, not a smart placement of that coupler though.
