Diesel FBH owners check intercooler top hose

Just having a wee rummage under the car today.
I noticed the Fbh exhaust was touching the intercooler top hose😱....

It hadn't burned a hole in the hose, but has definitely started making a dent in it.😰
Now, I had fitted a new top hose some time back, ( pre fbh installation).
As I have a sensor installed in the top hose, I ordered the single hose, and cut it into 2 sections to suit. It appears my "cuts" did not suit the location of the fbh exhaust.😤
All sorted now, temporarily with a wee bit of fibreglass fire insulation stuffed between the two...

Perhaps worth checking......
