Just an idea (I've had almost the exact same problem, except I managed to get mine on)..

I think I cleaned (degreased) the side on the flat rubber ring that fits into the U. (My thought was this might keep it from sliding) I did lube the inside of the flat rubber ring as well as the fitting on the turbo.

The only other thing that I can suggest right now, is to take a hairdryer to it, and get it soft/pliable ...maybe it will cooperate with you better.
