Vacuum Kink

These vacuum hard lines were in the way of my FFE secondary fuel rail install even with the low profile banjo, so I tried bending them. They're out of the way but there's a bit of a kink now.

Hopefully the pics give you a good idea of the kink. Does it look like it would cause problems?

That's not too bad. It will be fine. Just make sure you didn't break the metal because it will be a vacuum leak

Are you using the factory boost control on the twins? If not you really don't need that whole vertical piping assembly. I usually ditch that.

As long as the hardline didn't rupture and still flows air it should be fine. I usually wrap a prybar with a rag and pry against the compressor cover to bend the lines out of the way for the fuel rail.
