The worst part I ever purchased for my Evos

That is the most hideous POS I've ever seen. It looks like they welded it (if you can call it that) with the gas turned off then couldn't figure out why they were blowing holes in it. They only thing that puzzles me is I can see they birdsh*t welded the rest of it but, why were the welding the end of it where they bead rolled it? It looks like someone dropped a stick welder on the end of it.
There is absolutely no excuse for sending something like that. If you hire people that can't figure out it isn't supposed to look like it has been set on fire and stepped on by an elephant before they box it up you are asking for your rep to get trashed like this piece should have been.

I'm the one who mentioned the Megan Racing name, and if you read the whole thread from the beggining people were asking for the vendor name, no one knew for sure (not even me), but I pointed out that there was a Megan Racing plastic bag next to the LICP, later on Carlos confirmed that the LICP came wrapped in a Megan plastic bag, but he actually purchased the product somewhere else.
I do have a Megan Racing TBE and love it, I know their quality and I was sure that if that LICP indeed came from Megan, it was some sort of mistake by the packager.

My advice to those speculating on who did this before the name of the true company who built thie atrocity is to keep your mouth shut until you now for sure. There is absolutely no use in badmouthing a company like Megan when they had nothing to do with this. And to be honest, you can be actually be nailed for libel for this misinformation.
just my .02c.
ALWAYS!!!! Contact the vendor before making posts like this because you can be in a world of hurt if people start speculating that its another company causing them to lose out financiallly due to your misinformation.

^^Andrew LB must be a lawyer. Libel...on an internet forum...get real. Most things said on here are libel or slanderous....its the INTERNET!!
Srew the company that made this. Post about it. It couldve been one of us that bought it instead of Carlos. There is nothing wrong about the truth.

... you know Megan doesn't even offer LICPs... and they damn sure wouldn't use mind steel if they did! However, many don't know that, and rumors get started in this fashion.I'd be willing to bet an employee was on his way out the door or the like. NO ONE ships something like that unless they INTEND to hurt either the manufacturer, or to purposly screw with the customer (yes I've seen a certain turbo "re-manufacturer" act in that manner).

I can't believe some of you babies are trying to say that carlos should have asked fighters garage or a mod to post this up.
If there is a company making shady products like this one then they should be busted out for it immediately. Looks like they need to work on their quality control standards!
THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW HOW CRAPPY FIGHTERS GARAGE IS CARLOS

Funny thing is, as soon as I saw the first picture I knew what product this was. My friend bought one recently, and although the bead on the turbo side wasn't welded all to he!! like this one it still looked pretty bad.
Has this company ever seen a piece from AMS, RMR, or Buschur?? Also, why would they ever use steel instead of aluminum.

dude... i don't know WHY all you guys are jumpin' on him about showing us what can happen if you buy from these guys. seriously.... if they're gonna put stuff like that out there, they need this kick in the pants.
what makes a real good shop, a real good vendor. someone that takes the time nad the effort to make sure that things are right. this thing is not right even by nuclear fall out mutant standards.
you cannot put something out like that. it's just wrong. and if they didn't know about it... there's no excuse for that, they MAKE it, i can see maybe z1 or gruppe s sending out something that they don't make... and having the chance to make right on it cuz maybe hte piece was damaged before opening etc. but these guys make it!!!!
i don't cut br any slack for making things that don't fit... altho some of you do :\.

I have never received any products like that from fighters. It is obviously a mistake and you should have talked to the vendor before coming on here and slandering him.
I always get good service at his shop and he is more willing to deal with my "pickyness" as a consumer than anyone I have met.

If it was something stupid like they forgot a piece of the kit, or no clamps, or something to that sort that is a mistaken that anyone could make; i could understand that. But this? Were they bored at work that day or something?
"Hey guys come look at this thing! I bet this guy is gonna **** his pants when he opens up this thing! HAHA!"

Carlos, my LICP is also from Fighters Garage and it didn't look like the one you received. Fitment was trouble-free...no leaks so far...
Contact them, you should get a refund. I wonder why did they send you such a POS
