So the good news is that your na egr valve, and coils can be used in replace of th lighting ones. The heater hose elbow on the intake manifold is junk anyways. It makes a total cluster**** of unessicary length hoses shoved in the rear. Just remove it and use a npt fitting. That sucks about the injectors and tb tho

That's how my blower set-up showed up too. Broken intake, bent coolant line like his, bent egr (got deleted anyway) but still. If penny pinchers ship like this they need to charge more because these blowers aren't light. They need sturdy surroundings when shipped almost like an engine too many small ls to be bent or broken...but **** freaking peanuts give me a break..

Btw you're going to need a lightning egr tube since its a different length. hopefully it came with an undamaged one. With 500$ back you'll probably be fine but the sbtb are expensive that's a tragedy. I got a stock ported one if you need a new tb

The seller has been very cooperative. Emailing me a scanned copy of the shipping receipt as well as the packing receipt. He dropped it off at the ups store on a piece of plywood which they didnt use! The whole setup had ripped through the box. Did they expect a 90lb block to not rip through cardboard, not to mention wet cardboard? Also, they charged $50 to pack it lololololol

Just delete the egr anyway, IBD makes the delete plates. Cap the exhaust and there's one problem solved for $10

Yep i can help fill in any missing or broken parts. You got my number haha. Think of this incident as a free supercharger and intake setup if you get 500 back. I imagine you didn't pay much more over that.
