Question Alternator Air Duct Re-connect

My alternator duct is disconnected and i'm having trouble getting it back on from under the car.

Does the hose go inside or over the shroud orifice and can it be done from under the car? Or do you have to remove the air box and AFM to get at the top of the alternator?

If you have done it, please tell me how you did it.

Goes over but can be a bear to get back on and get a tool on the hose clamp to tighten if you don't plan it out. And get some small universal joints. Under the car is the way to go with a turbo. I don't know which is particularly the easiest with the NAs, probably from the bottom if you have the car up in the air.

Remove the airbox on a N/A and you will have a much clearer shot at it. Especially putting a clamp on.
