killerb oil pickup

So i just got off the phone finalizing my longblock, and IAG recommended against the killerb pickup do to what they claim as "inconsistencies". I had multiple people tell me to get it and this is the first ive heard about it. im going to trust them on this but does anyone have more information on this?

I too would like to know what the inconsistencies are. Nick has been nothing but helpful when I've pinged him on facebook and gives me zero reason to doubt the quality of their products.

Here is mine, too long, bottomed out on oil pan. After months of trying to get a replacement I told them to just forget it. I initially just asked for the measurement on how long it should have been and I was going to cut it myself. They insisted of me sending it in, I should have said forget it and just cut it the same length as the stock pickup. Basically paid 130 bucks to write a "do not recommend" review on their FB page.

Most people I have heard got one had no issues. I don't think I would worry. I am not even that annoyed it was messed up, it was the whole ordeal of them getting me a replacement I just said forget it.

I don't believe so, I think the wrx one points a slightly different direction. This one was just too long. When I sent Nick the picture he just said, "I think I know what happened."

It would have worked had I just cut it.

I used an IAG shortblock and my very competent engine builder used one so guessing there are no issues ay least with the FA20 version. I looked at it before install and it looked like a very solid unit compared to stock

it's insane they wouldn't fix such a simple issue. Like give you a credit and tell you the correct size or something so you could cut it, would go such a long way in maintaining a good customer relationship

They were supposed to send a replacement, they just forgot...........3 times

I am sure they are good guys and the intent was good. The follow through though just didn't happen.
