Pass the ****ing on the Left hand side

Customer comes in today for TBE, AccessPORT, and Protune.

I inspect his 07 WRX wagon & notice that his STi I/C has been polished to a high lustre.
Polished so much, that the welds have developed pin hole leaks.

Customer then tells me his tale of woe, how he got the I/C from eBay, that the seller said it had no damage, but since he wasn't a mechanic, his assessment could be wrong.

Dude (not my customer) was told that the polished I/C was junk and knowingly sells the ****ty polished I/C on eBay.

I have no idea if the ******* that sold this intercooler frequents this website or not, and I really don't care.

What I do know is that he/she/it is an *******.

Where are the welds on an STI TMIC? Isnt it like a wrx IC where the tanks are clamped on, and brazed or something?

That is hella shady. Karma will repay 10 fold on stuff like that. I am a firm believer in that.

Sounds like a whole lotta work just to ruin a TMIC.
