What did you guys do to solve the problem if you had the same issue?
It is definitely a weird fitment and I was unhappy with it after installing, but live with it now that I don't worry about it blowing. Though I would've gone with a different brand, had I known prior.

For now I zip tied the line further out of the way, making sure they aren't pinched. I check the line fittings every so often just to make sure they are not leaking. Haven't had any issues for 15k miles.
I ended up taking the pipe out, slipping the silicone sleeve up higher on the CP and rotating the power steering fluid reservoir clockwise a bit. The pipe and lines now have a bit of clearance.

Although that helped, the CP is not fully concentric to the trottle body and it doesn't seat perfectly.

What other CP options were you considering?
