* Help with Spearco Intercooler install please! *

So I have my Spearco IC bolted in with the two Torx screws
The passenger side tube is in position but not tightened.

This is the intercooler with the piping I have. Notice the tube connecting to the intercooler on the driver side.. it looks nothing like the silicone joint from the DIY.
(my setup)

(from the DIY)

I am using the factory charge pipe and it doesn't look like it will fit. Is this correct and do I have the correct parts?

You need another silicone coupler on the other side also

on the passenger side? it already has one. What I have is in the first picture, and the second picture is from the DIY..

when you say 'also', are you saying it won't work with the current setup and that I also need to get a coupler for the driver's side? I'm likely just going find a ride and go get that, since there are no other ideas..

Throw what you have on both sides in the garbage and buy new silicone couplers.

yeah that's what I decided on, but none of the b&m auto places around here carry those... fml
