Bent LICP

so after i installed my boost gauge i realized i was only pushing 14lbs, so i knew i had a leak and figured i would check it at another time and then this past Friday when i had the car on the lift putting on the tbe i notice the licp was dented so i figured that was my issue and picked up a licp on sat. Tonight i went to install it and it ended up being my problem but not the dent.... the picture says a thousands words... now with my new pipe installed im back up to 20lbs.

perhaps it was overtightened and that's why it's bent like that, they are aluminum pipes after all ( = fragile )

You'd be surprised. I have seen multiple bent LICPs....some run over curbs, potholes, raccoons, etc!
