^^ LOL someone doesn't think its a big deal......as long as the actual air passages aren't kinked off, i don't think you have anything to worry about....and it doesn't look like they have any sort of damage.......

RUN THAT ****!

Re: (Tactic$)

UPS shipped?

I have always gotten my parts from UPS, quickly too. But they are hard on packages.

USPS, seems to take longer, but the boxes dont get half destroyed when i get them here

Your IC should be OK.

I flipped my old car 2 times and there was just a dent in the intercooler about that big... I put the whole motor and turbo setup in the new car and had no problems at all

Re: (Tippyman98)

will I try bending it back straight with some needle nose pliers or just leave it? I don't want to try and bend it back if it will make it worst
