Damn that sucks. What did the seller say about the bad charge pipe? You bought it on eBay and I'm sure you're protected someway somehow right? How the hell was he using it with a bad batch charge pipe?
I have it connected, I just had to heat it up with heat gun, put tremendous force to push it on the TB with one hand and tighten it with another. I also loosened the actual super charger so it was close to the TB and when both sides of the charge pipe were connected I tightened the SC bolts. Popped off the TB a few times but third time was a charm. I'm just worried once it's under boost it'll blow off. I babied it just to get to the airport and never went above 3k. ESS still hasn't responded to my email but I read they were replacing the charge pipes for free, since I'm second hand they probably won't.
