Need help with intercooler house routing (tank drain)

[03 DSG Snake]

Can anyone help me properly route my intercooler tank drain line hose to the hardline?

The Metco idler brace gets in the way for sure. Is it supposed to run to the side of the tensioner or right under it?

I haven't played with the hoses myself in a long time. The last time anything was tweaked was when HPS did their test fitting, so I don't even remember where the stock lines were.

Any photos would be helpful. Thanks!!

Too....many...jokes...

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Is the brace a new addition? Generally, I say at the point you're at just run it however it fits and keep it away from moving parts. Once you start mixing aftermarket parts things don't have a "proper" way anymore. It's just get it to fit and make sure it's safe.

I've had the Metco for 10 years at least.

The hoses were the most recent addition in the area and I didn't do it myself since the manufacturer had it for fitment tests.
