holy hell, thats pretty lame. are you gonna take time to inspect every single weld on the kit? if the up pipe has this problem i would inspect everything he sent over.

Yes, I am.
The other one that is pretty bad that I didn't really take good picture of is the one that holds the up pipe together. It had about 50 pretty looking tack welds (why?) with ZERO penetration. The turbo sits atop this pipe and I can't imagine it holding for long. I re welded this as well.
The next weld that I think I am going to have to completely grind off and redo is the driver side exhaust flange on the turbo manifold. It is misaligned and cracked.. I don't think it would even bolt up to the car, and if it did - it would create some airflow issues.

Unacceptable.

This is precisely why I am just fixing it myself. I wouldn't see a refund or a replacement part for months if I was lucky. I can't even begin to describe how pissed off I am about the whole situation. I feel like I wasted thousands of dollars, but at this point I am just trying to fix it and move on.
To make matters worse, I have a tuning appointment scheduled for Tuesday morning so I am trying to fix everything and install the kit over the weekend.
